WLAN ok but can't get to internet ?

[dex123]

I 'm using knoppix live cd 6.2
All is ok with WLAN card in knoppix and it connects to my wireless router (gateway) for my access to internet, but when i open web browser in knoppix i can't access any page ? this is very strange to me
in windows all works fine

could be DNS issue, post contents of /etc/resolv.conf file

also, are you able to ping your gateway?

[dex123]

resolve.conf

# insert nameservers here
# nameserver 127.0.0.1]

resolv.conf.dpkg-old

# nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 131.246.9.116

i'm total newbie and i'm just starting to learn basic things about linux so don't laugh ( i skipped few steps here in learning linux couse i always need internet)
i rewrote those files to 192.168.1.1 which is my gateway, i couldn't save them at /etc/ (don't have permission) so i copied them to /home/knoppix and modifed them, then it worked ok
how can knoppix know from where to read resolve.cfg ?
is this standard procedure
I downloaded few books about linux but as i read them few there is no in depth, could you recommend me some book which is in depth linux

are you using DHCP on the router? resolv.conf should be set automatically with DHCP

otherwise you need to edit resolv.conf by hand and put in your nameservers

i haven't used knoppix in a while, but you could try to edit the file by using sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf and see if that works

you didin't understand me, i said it worked , now i can go to internet
i modifed upper files to my gateway

i did understand, you asked more questions which I was attempting to answer regarding the resolv.conf file
