Remember... I dunno Ubuntu :)

But in your menus somewhere or a right click on the network item in
the systray there should be a configuration menu.

In my Fedora I right click on the network thing in the systray and it
says "network management settings".

You see what it says now, and you re-create that after deleting it.

If you are using your usual home ADSL router than just deleting the
ethernet (probably called eth0) and recreating it accepting all
defaults will do.

Have a hunt around google and/or the Ubuntu sites for "setting up
networking on Ubuntu"
