Under T-Mobile internet it works, but when I go into any WIFI connection I just get error pages on the browser, doesn't connect to any Instant Messagers,, App Manager, etc. It worked perfectly like 3 days ago and I havent downloaded anything that would have effected it.

Check /etc/resolv.conf
Sounds like a DNS problem.
Can you:
If the first works but not the second then you need to manually edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line nameserver 8.8.8.8 (or whichever DomainNameServer you want. you may have to add in your router's IP such as 192.168.1.1 instead) While two (from the same DNS) are recommended go with just one to see if it works.
Please remember this file is generated/overridden by the network manager occasionally so you may have to edit it frequently.
If the first command ping 4.2.2.2 doesn't work then the problem is your connection to the router (or the router's connection to the internet)
Code:
$ sudo nano -w /etc/resolv.conf
Can you:
Code:
$ sudo ping 4.2.2.2
Code:
$ sudo ping google.com

The correct place is to look in /var/run/resolv.conf.wlan0

It's asking for your root password. I've no idea what the default password is. If you haven't already done so, install rootsh. Open a new terminal then:
gains you root access (without having to type password). Confirm that you are running as root:
Now you don't need sudo.
So try this:
and this:
and this:
and tell us results.
To change your root password, make sure you are running as root, then:
and follow the prompts.
Code:
root
Code:
whoami
So try this:
Code:
ping 8.8.8.8
Code:
ping www.ibm.com
Code:
cat /var/run/resolv.conf.wlan0
To change your root password, make sure you are running as root, then:
Code:
passwd
