Hi,
Installed from a Ubuntu Disc to my T60 IBM Laptop! Both wired and wireless
are connected but neither Firefox or Thunderbird will connect. I'm a convert
from Windows but can't get up the first step? Help! Its for work!

Can you ping out from the laptop? Open a terminal and try and ping your ADSL
router (probably 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254).
Simon's advice is good.

Also, I suggest you try getting wired working first - disconnect or
turn off wireless - update your machine and /then/ disconnect the
cable and try wireless. Both at once is just asking for trouble.

I know this might seem simple, but have you rebooted since installing, I sometimes find that a reboot fixes some problems, especially with the wireless connections.....
