Hi, thank you so much. It does seem like something has broke it. I pressed escape when starting the netbook, to see which kernel its starting, and it is the eee pc kernel, so it looks like something has been installed over it.

As far as anything else, I am worse off than you, I'm a newby with Ubuntu, and still learning the basics. I am not sure what you mean with the advice given, its a bit above my head. I am so sorry.

Well it sounds to me as if the update broke it - perhaps if you undo the update and see if it starts working again?

My knowledge doesn't stretch that far, so you'll need a how to from someone else.

What kind of network is it? Wired I'd wireless? And if wireless, open or encrypted, with what encryption? (WEP? WPA?)

For some reason, my Acer One Netbook, running Ubuntu 2.24.1which is kind of confusing, since I thought it was supposed to be an eee pc version. I have this feeling, last night, there was an update, which I installed, and its today I cant connect via the network. I dont have a clue what has happened to the eeepc installation.

Please can somebody help me please? I just have no clue about what has happened here.

Thank you

John
