If you are on a wired connection, and if your ehternet device is eth0 then

sudo dhclient eth0

should get you a dhcp address. Change the eth0 to whatever your network device is.

If you are using wireless you'll need to use iwconfig to set your SSID, etc. before doing this.

If you mean the internet icon on the top panel.

You need to right click on panel, select 'Add to Panel', then add the 'Notification Area'

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I did the sudo dhclient eth0 part, it does have a dhcp numbers, one dhcpDISCOVER, one DHCPOFFER, one DHCPREQUEST and one DHCPPACK.Which one,and how do i change it? I dont have the internet icon in the panel to click on. ALso, when you say my network device, do you mean the type of modem?

Thanks.
