Thanks for this. I actually understand it!

There is an icon on the upper panel next to the date which, when I put
the mouse cursor over it, displays the message "no network connection".
As I mentioned in a previous post, the system stopped connecting at
boot, and I got internet connectivity by executing dhclient. Obviously,
that command by itself does not properly set network connectivity and
I have not figured out yet how to fix the broken step in bootup.
