Raspi boot problems

ps "ping 8.8.8.8 responds with connect: Network is unreachable"

pps: I can ping and browse the www if I plug the ethernet in. Something in the WiFi setup does not let me get past my router.

mmmmm.

at a rough guess
what have you set the DNS server and default pathway as on the Pi?

[rans6andrew]

Milo, now you've got me. I didn't find any reference to DNS server or pathway in the network config thingy on the Pi desktop.

Can you point me to where else I should have been to set these up? (and what I might need to set them to?)

sorry, don't know, but it must be there somewhere

[rans6andrew]

Got it! If I reboot with the ethernet cable unplugged from the Pi the WiFi sorts itself out with the info I set in the desktop WiFi config tool. Sorted.

Ta for the help you all gave, it has been a bit of a steep learning curve for me, good though.
