Hello,
I have a strange problem with my computer. The little icon in the top-right bar of my screen indicates that I am connected to my network.
If I click on it, it indicates that the connection is quite good (approx. 75%) and the name of the network is correct.
However, when I open Firefox to connect to internet, it does not work. I cannot even access my router. Also, I have tried to ping some websites as well as my router through the terminal. This does not work either.
The connection to internet should however not be the problem, because I can access it with another computer (macintosh, through the same wireless network).
I don't know where to start to solve this problem. What should I look at? What should I check? Can anybody help me?
Thank you.
Some information: My computer is a "Shark littlebit" model. It runs Ubuntu 8.10.
