Re: No Internet connection
Hi, copy and paste this command in the terminal (ctrl+alt+t) please:
Code:
wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script
It will download a script and create a text file in your home folder with wireless information so we can see the condition of your wireless at this time and the Mac address, WPA key and WEP key are removed for your security, then reply back and attach the netinfo.txt file.
Thanks

Then you must "play" with transfer files from one pc to other , through Usb-stick.
Goto this page http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script
The script is above. Click in your browser File > Save Page as and save it inside to Usb-Stick.
Transfer the file to your /home folder inside Ubuntu and the open a terminal and do
Code:
sudo chown username:username wireless_script
sudo chmod a+x wireless_script
./wireless_script
Where username , replace it with your actual username in Ubuntu.
Then transfer again the netinfo.txt file , that will be created, into working PC , and attach the file here.
Thanks
Re: No Internet connection
I've noticed with the installations that wireless connectivity during installation fails (*buntu and Debian)... So, just ignore and continue the installation.
During installation, seems to only like WEP (and not WPA).
After install and reboot and login, easily connect to the network from the network icon and perform any upgrades as well as adding the language support...
I also suggest either Lubuntu (or maybe Xubuntu) if you have a really old machine... Ubuntu using Unity / Compiz might be too slugish.
Re: No Internet connection
I tried to run the code on #4, but the terminal has the following output on the first command: "cannot access 'wireless_script': No such file or directory"
Re: No Internet connection
Hi, please run these commands then copy the results to a flash drive and use a computer with internet to post them.

Re: No Internet connection
From the info you provided and after a search to Web, I found that this is a bug.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...3?comments=all
The workaround is to install the wireless-backport-modules , although I guess that if you install a newer kernel , maybe this will solve your problem.
If you have internet through Ethernet , try to full update your system
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and if a newer kernel installed , boot from there and test again.
If not, then try to install wireless - backport -modules . You can find them from synaptic package manager if you write to search box wireless backport .
In any case wait for Wild Man's response.. before you proceed with any of my suggestions.
Thanks
