Thank You very much. I had to press them while booting up and it worked. I now can pull up the drop down with the names of the wifi's. Mine shows connected and has a check in the box next to the icon for wireless. The airplane
and the other icon have x's in the box. I can open the thunderbird mail but it will not refresh. I can open Firefox but only my home page. so I have another little problem.

The plane and the middle one have an X over the icon and the box is blank. The one on the left which looks like a tornado (the wireless) has the check in the box and the wifi (Edna 1) says it is connected. But I have server not found, except my home page and no mail will pull up. In network management settings what should be on the left. Details to Show. I have type,Connection State,Connection Speed, System Name, Mac address, IPv4 address, Access Point (SSID), Signal Strength, Wireless Channel, Wireless Security, Mobile Operater,Mobile signal quality, Mobile access Technology, Bluetooth Name, VPV Plugin, IPv4 Gateway, Wireless Mode, Wireless Bans. All of these do not need to be in there do they?

OK so you have a WIFI connection with your modem/router. And you can see your home page, are you sure it's the one on the internet and not a local copy? Have you tried some ordinary network tools like ping or mtr?
Another question, is there a reason you haven't tried with a wired connection?
Next thing to try: open the Konsole and type:
Code:ping google.com
This should give you a list of replies like:
PHP Code:teunis@W520-15:~$ ping google.com
PING google.com (82.94.228.162) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 82.94.228.162: icmp_seq=1 ttl=61 time=9.77 ms
64 bytes from 82.94.228.162: icmp_seq=2 ttl=61 time=9.32 ms
64 bytes from 82.94.228.162: icmp_seq=3 ttl=61 time=10.2 ms
64 bytes from 82.94.228.162: icmp_seq=4 ttl=61 time=9.33 ms
64 bytes from 82.94.228.162: icmp_seq=5 ttl=61 time=9.37 ms
(In case it works you can stop the command with Ctrl+C)
A last resort would be to try:
Code:ping 82.94.228.162
In stead of 'ping' you can also use the 'mtr' command and it will give some more info but it might not be installed.
Code:mtr google.com
