Cannot access broadband on 9.1

[Arthur Trevaskis]

Connected by wire (ethernet cable). (I think wifi is wireless ??)

The 'little plug and socket Icon' - I seem to get the normal response using 
either right or left click, the little boxes drop down.
>From memory, when I hover it says  "the wired connection is connected" .
I would have to re-start the computer with the Linux HDD to see this now, 
then again re-start with Windows HDD to get back to you, and I have to go to 
bed (work tomorrow), so what I actually see shall have to wait till tomorrow 
I'm afraid.

Yes, I have been through the troubleshooting guide many times, tried many of 
the settings.

I asked the ISP, they thought it ought to connect without altering settings.

As a child at school. I was taught to suppress unwanted zeros (to the right 
of a decimal point), so to me, 9.1 is 9.10, 9.100, etc. I still do it, 
doesn't everyone?

Cheers and thanks
Arthur
