[Rustington] How do I re-enable the network on Ubuntu

[JACK COGMAN]

Thanks for your help, Stuart. A right hand click on the wireless icon was all that was needed.  It's easy when you know how, but why do they make the 'enable network' switch so difficult to find?

Thanks again,

Jack

Hi Jack,
 
I assume that you are talking about a wireless 
network connection ?
 
I know it sounds silly, but have you checked 
that wireless has not been accidentally turned off at the PC, this can 
sometimes happen.
 
If wireless is enabled at the PC ... when you 
RIGHT HAND mouse CLICK on the wireless icon on the top status bar, do you 
see "Enable Networking" and "Enable Wireless" ticked ? If not tick both 
boxes.
 
Then with a normal mouse click on the same icon do 
you see your Wireless Router listed ?
 
If not then maybe the Router needs switching on or 
off, but your Router is listed then double-click it and enter your WEP/WPA 
security as required.
 
You should then connect.
 
I hope that this is helpful, cheers,
 
Stuart.
