wireless network

Hello,

another erason could be that your router is offline. Did you checked your roter settings?

Mathias

i think it's online.. the thing is, it see's the connection.. when i connect to it, it tells me the signal strength and all but when i use firefox or anything that needs internet, it can't connect..

anyways how can i check the router settings? i am totally new to linux and everything about it is confusing :p

Hello,
if you send me the name and the type of your router i will send you the
IP. It is something like 192.168.1.1
br
Mathias

can you please please please tell me step by step what i am supposed to do?

i kinda no my ip already but what am i supposed to do with it?

Okay,

at first move your mouse over the network-icon in the upper right
corner. Press the right mouse button and select properties. In the show
properties you find an entry standardroute. The open your browser ent
enter http://your IP and hit the enter key. Whats happens?
br
Mathias

well the thing is, the network icon up there doesn't give any 'properties' all it does is manual configurations.. but anyways i found the properties option through system > administrator > network

i didn't find the standardroute you said but when i typed in my ip address that way, it asked for the username and password (because i have the wired internet cable connected to my laptop) when i pulled it out, nothing came..

Hello,
do you know the username and password for your router? I would enter
these stuff and look for a wan status (online/offline) but the login to
your router is different to your ISP login.

i really don't know anything about those stuff you know.. windows had
everything already set for me so i didn't get to learn about that.. and now
all of a sudden linux is blowing me up

Hold on,
thats not really difficulty, you need two logins the first one is to
establish a connection between your computer and the router - thats
works. The second connection is to establish a connect to your internet
service provider. These information will be stored on your router. Your
router is connected to the internet.

well - you wrote in your last post you are connected via a lan cable?
works your connection via cable?
