Just installed Linux Mint on someone's elses laptop (with his permission!) but..... it shows after install that it has connection but no internet... How can I solve this prob???

Hi there
ensure ethernet / wireless adapters working (e.g wireless passwords, correct network logged on to, ipv4/ipv6 addresses - depending on router etc, 2.4 or 5 GHZ wifi acessible) , reset the Network connections, ensure firewalls allow internet, re-boot.

Check status with ifconfig.

If the Linux Mint is running as a GUEST (i.e a Virtual machine) ensure the Virtual NIC's are correctly configured whatever Virtual Machine software you are using - usually one of these - Virtual Box, VMware or HYPER-V.

You might be better asking this in the Mint forums or Ubuntu forums.

In any event, this script gathers all the info needed to help troubleshoot connectivity problems:
