    Re: wireless connection established but no internet

    I dont think thats the good config. Who told you to change your IP to 10.42.43.1 (this kind of ip with .1 to the end is a Default Gateway)

    What is the IP range on your router ? Usualy its 192.168.0/1.2-254

    Re: wireless connection established but no internet

    If you are using Network manager set static IP as follows
    Right-click on the NM icon(on top right of the panel) and then click on Edit Connections.
    Select the tab, wireless
    select the wireless connection you want and click edit
    select ipv4
    method-manual
    address 192.168.2.100
    mask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    then hit enter
    DNS 4.2.2.1
    then click apply
    note:You can also use DNS provided by ISP

    Re: wireless connection established but no internet

    You can stop NM using
    Code:
    sudo service network-manager stop
    and start again using
    Code:
    sudo service network-manager start
    If you still have problems pl post the result of
    Code:
    ifconfig -a
    and
    Code:
    cat /etc/network/interfaces
