[LUG] Mint XFCE4 wireless connection

 

Have been given a Presario laptop. Installed Linux Mint, with the
computer linked by cable to my wireless router (D-Link). When I look at
the wireless icon in the panel it says 'Connected to wired network'.
However when I try to use the computer when it is not connected by cable
to the router I cannot access the internet.

Any experts out there to point me in the right direction please? I have
never tried to use the wireless part of the router before. However I
know that it works as my wife uses it on her laptop. She can browse the
internet and use emails without any problems. She uses windows and has
never had a wired connection to the router.

Thanks

Neil
