I upgraded to 10.04 yesterday and Firefox, or rather something I don't know that's replaced it called "Namoroku", worked fine. Today Firefox won't work and Thunderbird and Evolution won't work, either with wifi or with a direct Ethernet link. When I did the System Test, it claimed that the internet connection was fine, but I can't get anything in or out. This is on an Acer Aspire One that I have configured as dual boot with Windows 7. Under Windows Firefox works fine on the wifi. I haven't checked on the Ethernet connection, but assume it works if the wifi does.
Ubuntu also tells me that my battery is "broken", although that's a lesser problem. I can ignore that. Windows has no problem with the battery, either.
Any help for the communications problems would be appreciated.
