Hi!
This morning I wake-up thinking about install LXDE in my PC. Well now install the package lxde (sudo apt-get install lxde) and when I startup the session with LXDE, I don't have internet.
And my question is, How can configure a network wi-fi in lxde?.
Well this all, thaks for your atention and sorry for my poor English

Try wicd or NetworkManager: both of these are commonly used.

If I do this will that affect my Gnome sessions which obviously work OK with WiFi at the moment?

If your Gnome session is already using NetworkManager, your LXDE session should use it by default. To display the NetworkManager panel applet (if it isn't being displayed) make sure you have a section that looks like:
in one of your panel configuration files. If the NetworkManager applet isn't running, then use
Alt-F2 to bring up a run dialog and enter
nm-applet in the box, then press the Ok button

Thanks for that - I'll give that a try!

Network manager wasn't running - as soon as I pressed "OK" it appeared on the taskbar as connected. How do i ensure that this starts at log-in?

How do I ensure the network manager auto starts each session?

Very easy:
Start> Preferences> Desktop Session Settings> Tick Network Manager.
Nm applet will then autostart each session.
