Hello cypher000,
it's good to read you are back online now  :) and don't have to suffer under XP, it's what Linux Lite is about.

Hi Guy's. Just have to tell you that all is now back as it should be. Shut it all down and restarted. Connected TP-Link and off we went again.  Cannot thank you all enough for the time you have devoted to getting me back online. Thank you, again and again. Regards to you all. Walt

Hello cypher000,
have you tried unplug power lead to modem/router, unplug TPLink dongle, wait 10 minutes plug power lead back in wait until all lights work then plug TPLink back in ?

I agree.  If the wifi was working fine - chances are high you accidentally hit wrong button(s).  For example, on the eee 701 netbook, I could accidentally click Fn+F2 and toggle off the wifi.  A simple repeat
Fn+F2 will toggle it on.  Haven't figure out my current netbook, but I'm sure a hotkey shortcut is there.  Dig up the manual for your netbook.

"Does this make any sense to you. There was no mention of WiFi to be seen.

Looks like you have no wireless interface though maybe eth1 is what it is, Maybe.
I am guessing though from the deserts of Texas on the Mexican Border.
So I still do not know how you connect your computer in the 1st place since you have not
said anything about it at all.

Edit: OK. I see wired connection. So I guess no wifi. But I do not know much on how you have yours set up.
Mine for example.

Code: [Select]
harry@biker1:~$ sudo ifconfig -a
[sudo] password for harry:

          inet addr:<filter>  Bcast:192.168.254.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Try what the other posters suggested.

Happy Trails, Rok

Edit: Next morning. Woke up with the Flu. Some one is going to have to pick up the ball for me from here.

I'm guessing this is desktop, with a WiFi USB device plugged in.?

If you click on the Network icon down in the bar near to the clock
Is there a "Tick" mark next to "Enable WiFi".?

If NO, try to click it to re-enable.

If YES,
click it to un-tick it to disable it, then re-boot, and then re-tick it to re-enable.

I have had an occasional it appeared to be enabled, but wasn't.

I had a similar issue with a USB plug-in wireless, would not seem to recognize it although it had before.  I finally unplugged, plugged it into a different usp port and it worked.

Hi there. Thank you for being so kind and trying to help. Well, I cannot put a pretty box on the screen, but I did venture to take a look and see what I did have.


All I could see on the Network Connection, was


Ethernet


Wired connection 1                        3 minutes ago.


Does this make any sense to you. There was no mention of WiFi to be seen.
Regards Walt

Is this wireless or land Line?

Do you see eth0, wlan0 in LL2

Mine for Example



be cool. Make some tea. Relax. It is probably no big deal. You might have had the cat walk across the keyboard and invoke rfkill
with his paws.

Hi Guy's. I am absolutely devastated by the latest turn of events. I have been happily using LL2 until today something happened that just cannot happen. Or can it? NO INTERNET CONNECTION.  There it was a blatant as you like. I could use LL2 but not Firefox.
I restarted and switched over to Win XP. Ugh! I hate to have to do that. But on Win XP I did have an internet connection. Otherwise I would not have been able to contact you lads. Phew!
I desperately need to get back online in LL2, but what to do and how to do it?I have TPLink on USB. My WiFi Ethernet is ZyXEL. What can I do Guy's to get my LL2 up and running on the net again? Can anyone spare me a few moments of their valuable time? I hope I have explained this problem ok? Regards. Walt.
