Lost Internet Connection

[avanboekel11]

I'm running ubuntu 12.04. After turning my desktop off for a couple of days, I lost internet connection.

I am new to linux, and I'm not sure how to solve this problem.

Thanks

1) Did you update or make any other changes before you logged off?

2) Have you tried to start the computer again?

I don't believe that I did any updates. And yes, I tried rebooting the computer.

it's an empty dark grey quarter circle. I also tried connecting it with an Ethernet cable, and that didn't work either.
