No internet?? Please please help
 

My daughter has an acer one (not windows) and for some reason it has lost its little tv icon from the bottom right hand corner, the wireless slide button works and lights on and off but I am unable to search for networks as this little icon I normally click on has vanished??
I have also gone into settings and there is an option in there that says 'network centre' But... It wont let me click on it??
When I click on internet it says server not found, I 'edit' 'prefrences' and then the network tab and this displays 'settings' and the one highlighted is ' Direct connection to internet' Is this right??
I hope someone can help pleeeease!
This has all happend since she took to a friends house and tried getting on their internet so I have no idea if they have messed with any of the settings.
I have also tried plugging our yellow lead into it from our wireless router and it doesnt make any difference in fact I dont think it even knows its plugged in!!
Please help

It sounds like network manager is not running. I'm not at home right now, but I believe you can get to this by (depending on the UI you are using) System -> Administration -> Network Manager. Also try running 'networkmanager' and 'nm-applet' from a terminal window. If this doesn't work, come back and someone better-versed than myself can most likely help you out.

You didn't mention which operating system that you are using please let us know what operating system that you are using. i think you have lost your network connection it may be because of configuration changes.
However if your operating system based on Linux try these
right click on desktop and open the terminal
#ifconfig
check the output there will be atleast eth0, lo and eth0 having ipaddress (ex:- 172.16.10.2)
#ping ipaddress(wireless router ip address)
#ping yahoo.com (or any other outside network address)
output something like this
64 bytes from 172.16.10.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.49 ms
64 bytes from 172.16.10.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.338 ms
64 bytes from 172.16.10.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.330 ms
64 bytes from 172.16.10.2: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.306 ms

from the above result we can makesure whether you have connectivity problem or any other setting changes

Its a Linpus Linux lite V1.0.9E
I dont seem to be able to right click on any screen?
