Try the wireless first: Try going into System-Administration-(enter password)-Networking and make sure your wireless is set to active.If it is check to see if you are using Static IP or DHCP and that the settings are right.

This thread;"http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=257684&highlight=inspiron+6400" refers to the Inspiron 6400 but I am sure you can find useful advice there. Not everything I deem "necessary" (eg the fan controlling application) but it sure has been good for me and my 6400Sinclair
