Only a user's terminal is available from that menu. Use that terminal,
and you can then either;

	1. create a password for root so you can use 'su'
	2. use sudo anywhere you need to be root

The first option means you need to know about setting passwords in
UNIX-like environments. The second option means you know how to edit the
sudoer's file with visudo. If you are not familiar with these tools,
here are two helpful commands;

$ man passwd

and 

$ man sudo

Now that you can construct a proper sudoer's file, with help from 'man
sudo', you can edit necessary networking files.

There are many elements in getting your network functioning, read the
documentation on the Ubuntu site here:
