LAN connection problems

[wandiligong]

Raspberry Pi B, powered hub, Raspbian, Openelec

Have had system working with previous version of XBMC
Tried to install WiFi. Much grief.
Downloaded latest NOOBS and installed Rapbian and Openelec - start again freash
Tried to install WiFi. Much grief.
Changed IP to static (so I thought) but still having problems. Ethernet connection works but not WiFi
Objective to eventually get Yatse to connect, put Raspberry next to stereo and play music collection from USB
I have extracted what seems to be the relevant info from ifconfig, network/interfaces and results of ping and what shows on the Raspbian GUI. I have typed these and created pdf file attached (I don't know of any other way of screen capture?)
The static IP seems to be recognized only in /network/interfaces?

I have spent days trolling through forum and other sites. I have worked through most of the guide (until I ceased to understand how) I found somewhere on the forum to test the dongle etc. This showed it to work OK physically

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Do not seem to be able to attach a file - print details below instead

What happened to my uploaded file?

pdf not allowed?

Try MS word?

I have decided to abort this whole thing and start again with setting up Raspbery Pi

Now on my 5th format sd and NOOBS installer !!

[wandiligong]

After 5 times formatting sd card and reinstalling Raspian and openelec I have finally got a stable system and have managed to get WiFi working OK and also Yatse on my tablet pc.
For anyone else reading this for assistance I have not bothered with static IP address for Pi. Hopefully it will not cause future problems.
Curiously the port shown for my WiFi connection using the icon on top of the Raspian screen of 24 (10.1.1.6/24) is different to that shown in Openelec which is 80? Yatse responds OK to 80

I set up everything using Ethernet cable then just removed the cable and inserted the WiFi adapter and using the icon on the top of the Raspian screen added LAN password and all was good- EXCEPT OPENELEC would not accept / recognize wlan settings. I have not seen anything about this in forum or elsewhere on the net. However searching around in Openelec system or settings , not really sure where, (perhaps network) came across section enabling choice of various networks. Selecting my wlan all was good.

I have lived successively with DOS, Windows and Linux distros but have not experienced the same grief as I have had with Raspbery Pi. I still don't know why it took 5 installs to get it right?

Thanks to those forum members who attempted to assist me.

Lastly the text config facility in NOOBS does not seem to be explained anywhere in begginers notes. My text disappeared off the left screen until Dougie alerted me to how to fix it. Very frustrating when nothing seems to work and lots of suggestions involve code which I could not see.
