I am not sure if I understand your situation correctly or not. Do you mean
that when you click on administration > networking the control panel does
NOT come up? (Or do you mean that the window does come up but there is
nothing inside it?) I have seen the first problem a couple of times and it
seems to be related to /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname getting screwed up. Do
you have the same problem with other administration apps?

Can you open networking via a terminal with:

gksu network-admin

If not what kind of error does it throw up? If it is the same as the problem
I have had before check /etc/hosts and make sure that /etc/hostname is set
correctly. Then restart and the problem should (might?) be fixed.
