i'm not sure, but a good place to start might be checking to see if you have set your router to be your default gateway. it's almost certainly 192.168.1.1, and if you have a GUI config utility to set up internet connections, there should be somewhere to put that address in as your gateway (also, check to see that you have DHCP turned on, as this is probably what you want).
first though, open up a terminal and check a few things:
iwconfig
this should confirm that you are connected to a wireless access point - confirm that the essid matches, and if you have WEP enabled, that key should be in the output too.
ifconfig
will tell you if you are successfully getting an ip address, netmask and broadcast address.
route
will show your current routing table. now, here's an example of what this command might print:
Code:
[root@tristan]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.99.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.99.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
what you're looking for is that last line, only your gateway should be 192.168.1.1. if that entry is NOT there, try adding it like this:
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
and fire up a browser to see if that did the trick. then you can look for somewhere to add it permanently (so you don't have to type that command every time you restart your machine).
