[SOLVED] Can Connect to Wireless Router But not Internet

[mathaeus]

Right now I' m running Ubuntu. However, I am trying to make the switch to ubuntu as my primary OS. I burned Fedora-11-i686-Live.iso to a DVD+R. And I ran the Live CD intending to install it to my HD. However, before I did so I intended on making sure everything worked first. So I first connected to my wireless router (which was WPA2 security). And then, I opened firefox. However, once firefox opened, I noticed that I wasn't connected to the web. It failed to open up any pages. I then tried to open up Pidgin and I also saw I had no connection there as well.

What can I do?

Shooting from the hip, I'd say it's a resolve problem. Find the two domain name servers of your ISP (available in your router) and put them in the DNS Server box in the DNS tab from System --> Administration --> Network utility. Also, try putting there, the ip address of your router.

Okay, I'll give that a go and post the results. Thank you for your help.
