Need more information. First, determine if your devices are being recognized. Open a terminal and enter:

ifconfig

Copy and paste the results here.

Re: internet troubles

That's good. At least your system is recognizing a network interface, eht0.

So next step is to follow my instructions here to get a wired connection up and running, then we will see what we can do about the wireless.

Yes, edit the file as it says in the instructions. You don't need the little planet emblem. Don't worry about it.

After editing your /etc/network/interfaces file should look like this.

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

# The primary network interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Re: internet troubles

Are you hooked to a router or modem with a wired connection from your computer? What kind of router or modem?

Re: internet troubles

Reboot your modem, then run the networking restart command agian after the modem is fully rebooted.
