Unable to connect to internet

I just upgraded to 12.10. Everything appears to go well but I am unable to connect to the Internet. The LAN is fine and I can view my shared files but no e-mail or access to web pages. My other computer which is running 12.04 or older seems to connect fine. I only upgraded one to make sure things would be ok. I am currently connecting fine with a wireless Windows laptop.

Output from cat /etc/resolv.conf

try to see what you are connected to first. you could use

ifconfig

and see if you get an IP adress. If you do try

ping 173.194.67.94

to ping a google server, if this works the routing works okay.
Then test

ping www.google.com

to see if that can be resolved to the right server ip address.

If you can't connect to the internet you'll probably find your problem somewhere in these steps. Then compare the network settings between your two systems to see what is going on.

If you've installed 12.10 somewhat weird like I did(minimal install without gui) you might want to check the /etc/network/interfaces and remove everything but your local interface. This is what made my computer get this problem a few days ago.
