Immediately to the left of the twin monitors is a vertical bar w/squigly
(sp?) lines; that is the notification area. For some reason Ubuntu
decided to tie the network icon to this one and I've not yet figured out
how to break them apart. Anyway, click on the notification icon and
'unlock' it & move it left. That will move the network icon out of the
way for you.

BTW: I just set up a system for a Windoze user making it appear the same
as a M$ desktop; not sure if you realize this or not but you can put the
Applications icon (without Places & System text) the lower left corner
of the bottom toolbar/panel. It only shows up as the Ubuntu logo, but
when clicked works exactly the same as the M$ Start toolbar; includes
Places, System, and the Shutdown/Restart/etc functions. Cleans up
desktop to the point where I was able to totally remove the top
toolbar/panel for the customer.
  Simply: right click the panel (top or bottom), Add to Panel, scroll
down to utilities, then add 'Main Menu'. Cleans up the toolbar/panel
considerably. You can test first by just adding it to the top or bottom
panel to see what it does & remove if you don't like it.
