Connecting ubuntu internet apps
<p>I have had some good advice as to how to connect my internet apps (which dont work) to the broadband modem which says it is connected. In response to one of the answers (from hippiejake) I gleaned the following from the terminal</p>
<pre><code>-bruce@dell:~$ /sbin/ifconfig -a

<p>This seems to show that the ethernet is connected to the internet, but the wlan interface isn't. Is this the problem. How do i change it back to normal - with wlan on the internet?</p>
