Wifi detected, connected and nothing comes up!

[ppernot]

Hello all,

I have been running Linux Mint for a while, my first version being "Linux Mint 7 - Gloria" I had a few bugs here and there but most of them got solved quite easily, Lately I downloaded Lisa and am running from a usb key (my wife is used to her MS and as she bought the computer she wants it as it is). how ever my friend witch bought my older computer ( set up with Mint 11 - Katya) loves the new feel and looks of Mint 12 - Lisa. I showed it to him but cant seem to get any wifi working. on the 11 version everything works good but on the 12 it detects the network connects to it but when I open a web page or try to connect with any of the software that needs a internet connection it tells me that there is no connection.still the network manager tells me everything is working ok. This computer is an Acer- Aspire-7736-6963 the network controler is a Intel corporation Wifi Link 5100 and everything works good on Katya. when I open firefox it sels me that server can not be found how ever it is for any one else arround.

I hope to hear from you guys soon.

try running

sudo dhcpcd wlan0

detects the network connects to

Once this is done, copy/paste here the output in a terminal of

Code: Select all

nm-tool

the copy paste was not much of an option as all we have is wireless and the problem is in the other version. so here it comes by hand.

You could have pasted into a text file and copied that, easier than typing it all out!

This seems to be a public wifi network, is that correct? Also any reason you are using the Google dns servers or is that also provided by your provider?

Speed: 2 Mb/s

This may the reason you are having issues, it may just be too slow to connect properly. Have you tried connecting to one of the other available networks if you can?

However it could be the driver in use so if this doesn't work, please provide the outputs of

Code: Select all

lshw -c network
lsmod
