Ok guys...I'm back with some more problems.
So, I've just this week installed Mint 11 on an old Toshiba laptop. I decided to put Mint on it because I have Ubuntu 10.04 on a partition on my netbook, and I read somewhere that Mint is very similar.
The installation ran ok (eventually), and once loaded, it found my w/less and connected. The w/less icon shows as connected to my SSID anyway.
However...when I click on the Firefox icon to connect, I get a message "Firefox can't find the server at."
Does this mean that Mint has a dedicated server, and if so, why can't FF connect to it?
All help appreciated!
