My computer will not connect to the internet

Please tell us are you connected with an ethernet cable to a router...?

Give us details to get better help.

Thank you

I'm using wireless at the moment..

Well, but what would you like to use? Where exactly is your problem?

I think what people are trying to ask you, Heathyre, is what exactly seems to be the problem when you mean 'log onto the internet'.

One of the things I try to do with diagnosing problems is to do a 'ping' test. See if you can call up a terminal window and do 'ping'. Although with Marcobra's question, knowing if you are wired first or using wireless, the next question would be given wireless, are you getting an IP for your wireless connection?

What little I recall from the desktop, you should be able to see what kind of connection you have for network, and from there, should get information of the kind of connection you have. If you are trying to do this with a wireless, you have to make sure one of the 'eth' shows up that it supports wireless and actually sees a wireless connection for it to establish a connection to the network in question.

 Hey, I actually fixxed the problem. A friend of mine talked me through it... sorry for the late response... I was out last nigh

 We just hooked my computer up to an ethernet cable and went through and installed ndiswrapper. The problem was I had the Broadcom 4318 wireless card. I'll post more when my computer is returned, My friend ran off with it to play with the graphics.

Heathryre ?

Hi? Are you using Windows again? It seems you are accidentally sending spam to people. It doesn't really matter here but other people might get annoyed.
Good luck and regards from Tom :)
