I am reading out of this text that you're using DHCP, if so then can you
open your terminal and post the output of `ifconfig`. If everything seems to
be in order, then issue `sudo ifdown <interface>`, and then `sudo ifup
<interface>` where you replace the network adapter name to the <interface>
part. It might be useful to post the output of the latter command as well.
Maybe we can help you out when we see the error message(s).

Thanks,
