With <application>KNetworkManager</application> you simple click the application icon in the system tray and select the wireless network you want to connect to. When you click on a network that has encryption enabled, you will get a pop-up dialog to enter this information. Once entered, this information is stored within the <application>KWallet</application> utility. This allows you to connect to that network in the future just by entering your <application>KWallet</application> password.

If the above did not work, open <application>Konsole</application> (<menuchoice><guimenu>Kickoff Application Launcher</guimenu><guisubmenu>Applications</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Terminal (Konsole)</guimenuitem></menuchoice>) and type <userinput>ping gateway_ip_address</userinput> (substitute gateway_ip_address by the ip address of your gateway. This address will be something like 10.0.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.2.1, but may vary depending on the nature of your network). If you are able to ping your gateway, then the DNS on your computer is working correctly. If you are not able to ping the gateway, then you do not have a proper Internet connection.
