I just isntalle ubuntu server 14.04.2, in the installation process i could easily choose the network name from a list and typed the password. After the installation i saw that Im not connected to the internet. It would be great if you tell me how to connect to the internet (noob version please :) ).

You can do this via system start using the /etc/network/interfaces configuration.
From terminal,
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
To setup dynamic addresses:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
To setup static addresses:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
Input your credentials:
wpa-ssid <network>
wpa-psk <password>
For static addresses you can supply:
address <address>
netmask <netmask>
gateway <gateway>
dns-nameservers <nameserver1>, <nameserver2>
Final result:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1, 8.8.8.8
wpa-ssid NETGEAR
wpa-psk password

Netmask is incorrect and also no DNS nameservers listed as required.– chili555Jun 20, 2015 at 22:26
