Uwe is saying to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers just to check. The system may not be able to reach the old ones regularly. 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?
Uwe - sorry, I should have asked. Do you know how to use a terminal? (Otherwise said, do you know how to work at the CLI?)
