I apologize for the mistake: I once started with 8.10 but now I work with Ubuntu 10.4.

Until a couple of weeks ago when I suddenly noticed that the Network Manager applet no longer was visible next to the clock in the top hand right corner of my screen. The mail reader Epiphany didn't receive mail anymore; Google wasn't available either. I did not alter anything of the system. What do I have to do to get the connection to the Internet back again? Please be not too concise in your explanation as I have little knowledge of the ins and outs of Linux. Thanks very much, Daniel Hoogland </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> I don't really know how you will fix this if this in Xubuntu 8.10. If the release you are using is really Xubuntu 8.10, you should upgrade to a supported release. Xubuntu 8.10 has not had any updates since about April of 2010, so it is highly unlikely any kind of update or anything caused this to vanish. It is strongly suggested to upgrade this to at least 10.04, which is an LTS release, supported for three years from its release. That makes Xubuntu 10.04 good until October of 2013, if you don't like upgrading. - -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://counter.li.org/">http://counter.li.org/</a>] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.
