I connect to WiFi, but no internet?

I am far from a computer geek, but this is the first time I am testing a BSD operating system. Went from Windows ME, to a Mac Pro, and now currently run Linux Mint as my main desktop. Testing GhostBSD on an old laptop..... possibly to use as a daily computer down the road.
So I created a bootable USB drive, and I an running off of that right now. I have not actually installed it on the laptop yet. Everything looks great! I type in my WiFi password, and it connects. It shows a full strength signal. But...... when I open Firefox..... it doesn't work. No internet access. The tab says "Server Not Found", and I'm getting a "Hmmm. We're having trouble finding that site." message. What's wrong?
Any ideas? This is on an 11 year old Acer laptop. I recently test drove Haiku on a bootable USB, and my internet came up just fine.
I can provide more info if needed. Appreciate any help!
