    Question cannot conect to internet

    I have suse 10.1 and cnnot connect to the internet. I am new at this so I'm lost
    I am running a linux router box that I made. I have 4 computers hooked up so I know the router works. This laptop I'm using has an intergrated wireless card also how do I configure them? I went into yast and then network devices. and I'm lost. the network manager says I'm connected but when I try to pull up firefox it says could not connect to server. Please help.

    Connections sometimes fail if you do not enter all the required details. Check that you entered the address of the gateway and the nameservers if using a static ip address. You have to click on the network device and select edit in order to check the settings or make any changes.

    As for your wireless card, do you know what chipset it uses? If not, check by running the command
    Code:
    #lspci | grep -i net
    Some wireless cards have native Linux drivers but others require a package called ndiswrapper to be installed and they can use your Windows drivers.
