    please help setting up internet connection through a wireless access point

    Hello. This is my first post here and I must confess am a total newbie in Linux. No experience in programming or using all these commands in the terminal window.
    I have successfully set up a cable internet connection in Ubuntu (created a new DSL connection by typing login and password and connected the cable - it worked). But I have no idea how I can set up a wireless internet connection. I have a wireless access point TL-WA501G, laptop and a cable internet connection with fixed IP address. My laptop can see the wireless access point. But I really do not know how to make it all work and what to start from.
    Please walk me through

    Hi and welcome sergus!

    If you can post all the outputs of commands found here, it would really be a big help.
