I posted this in Absolute Beginners but I suppose it makes more sense in this section of the forum.

A few days ago I upgraded from intrepid to jaunty via the Update Manager.

All seemed to have gone pretty well, but now I cannot connect to the internet through my Vodafone Mobile Broadband.

When I click on the icon in the task bar, everything seems to be fine and it tells me I'm connected, but when I try to use Firefox or Update Manager it's quite clear that nobody's home.

During the install of jaunty there were three occasions where I was asked whether I'd like to keep my original file or replace it with a new one. Being a bit of a burke, I elected to replace them, which has meant that I've lost my desktop cube thingy done through Compiz and I presume it's thrown away lots of my internet connection data.

Has anyone got any idea as to how I could get my Mobile Broadband working?
