Wifi vs Ethernet Internet access problem

Recent installation of Carbon.  Accessing the Internet with Ethernet works perfectly, wifi doesn't get Internet access at all.  It appears to connect to the router and appears it has a very strong connection but as stated there's no Internet access.  I tried pinging google.com from the terminal and I get back dns error.

Confusing as there cannot be dns issues if everything works with the wired connection.

Any suggestion for trouble shoot this problem?

From the network-manager applet select "Edit Connection"

Pick your wifi network and in the "General" tab make sure "All Users May Connect to This Network" is checked.
