Uwe is saying to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your

The above ones are Google's and they do allow or at least don't stop
people from using them.
No, Uwe has the problem. I suggested Google's for exactly that
reason, but Uwe did not report back.
Ok I tried it out. I first disabled my wired net via systemsetting and
then called tdenetworkmanager.
It sounds as though the two were being asked to give conflicting orders. I
should remove it from one before testing the other. It may simply not have
been working because system setting told it not to.
I attach the screenshot2 of the setting and the symbol of the icon,
which indicates IMHO that it does not connect to the wired net.
Please tell me whether the screenshots arrive.
The screenshots arrived, but I am afraid that I am not used to sorting
networks out by looking at icons and I'm not really sure what I am looking
at.
Did you run
$ ip addr
while the wireless was working?
If it is working, then do:
$ ping 8.8.8.8
followed by
$ ping
www.google.com
and send us the results. You may have to use ^C to stop the ping command,
depending on how your system is set up.
DNS shouldn't affect connection, only finding sites.
I still have no picture of your network at all.
How (apart from the icon) do you know whether it is working or not?
