Firefox doesn't browse after connecting to the internet

i installed ubuntu 9.10 NR on my laptop, i connect to the internet ( wireless connection), but when i start my browser, it says no server found... like i'm not cennected...
What is the exact error message for "no server found"? Is name resolution working; what happens if your try this at a command prompt
zhe ping test with my router is ok, except the lunxquestion.org, it says incorecct adress...
It would help if you were more specific, ideally copy-and-pasting the command prompt text into this thread. It's easier to read if you put it in code tags (that's a link to instructions or you may prefer to use "Advanced Edit" mode which has a # button for code tags).
The output from the route command might help, too.
Note: I highlighted the local and virtual machine addresses in red, and the Internet connection in green, in the above output. If you only see local addresses in your ifconfig output, you have no Internet connection.
i am connected but i can't acces the internet... the browser can't find the server...
Please offer proof that the above statement is correct. Without any proof, why should the statement, alone, suffice?
By "proof" I mean something like my prior post, or, at least, a statement that you ran the ifconfig command and saw a valid IP address for an active connection. (If you did that, what IP address did you see?)
Note, please, that the light on your computer that turns on when the wireless modem is on does not tell you that you're connected. It's only there to tell you that the modem is powered on and, in some cases, aware of an access point.
Note also that your ability to connect from a Windows system does not prove anything about a connection from a Linux system, except that there is no obvious hardware problem preventing a connection to the Internet.
Additionally, note that terse, one sentence, posts are seldom viewed as informative or responsive.
