Internet connected but no internet

does it work if you connect using a cable instead of wifi?

can you ping your router/gateway? (run "route -n" and check the "gateway" column)

can you ping other computers withing your network (192.168.0.*)

what wifi router/gateway do you use?

im not able to ping anything no matter who itry

i have a linksys router

i tried on of your links and when i did a command in the terminal it brought up a page in whch i type in the WPA(!) info that it asked me but then i did not know what to do with it???

pls do

sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

and

sudo ifup wlan0

and post output here.

your interface is wlan0 and it sees

ESSID:"TitsMcGee"

does your router have a key or mac filters on? if yes log into the router pls remove temporarily any keys abd MAC filters and try again - you should be able to connect.

does it work if you connect using a cable to the linksys instead of wifi?

If you can open the page http://82.105.36.210/ and not http://www.elart.it is a DNS issue... so please try:

Migth be related to this bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/279262

As a workaround please try to set OpenDns dns server https://www.opendns.com/smb/start/
into your resolv.conf and lock it:

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:
(when the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

add this rows as first DNS server (you can also put your provider DNS instead of OpenDNS servers)

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

save and exit

Then to avoid other modification from other program, lock your resolv.conf, still sing terminal type:

sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

Then try... if still this doesn't works please rebbot your pc, and try again.

Hope this helps

I am new to Ubuntu and really like the format and setup However, I have been extremely disappointed by the problem of it not connecting to my internet. Just like above, my icon says I have a great internet connection but it won't connect. Some days it will work well, but only for part of a day. We have wifi in the house with several people accessing it with laptops and one pc. I live in Southeast Asia, so I guess it could be the server is just not working well with Ubuntu. We recently went to the U.S. and didn't have a problem. However, I am getting to the point where I am about to go back to Microsoft. None of the ideas you had above worked. If Ubuntu ever works the bugs out of this problem, I would certainly be glad to know, but I can't keep trying to figure this out myself. I need to be able to consistently use the internet not once in a while during the day.

@Kristi. This is a 2 year old forgotten post, probably because the OP fixed the problem and forgot about it. If you have a problem or questions, then please create a NEW question with your issue so you can get the most people looking at it.

Internet access for Ubuntu is expected and works in many cases with a few driver/kernel exceptions that we see a lot of questions and bugs about, or configuration issues such as this one. But your post lacks any detail that could provide me with a clue to your issue. I really don't need to know about your travel history, only what works and what doesn't work. As for going back to Microsoft you certainly have the freedom to choose what you prefer. However you network sounds like a configuration issue if your hardware is giving you a go.

So to get the answers you need to solve your problem start fresh.
