I've tried:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
but get a deprecation error
I googled this and it seems to have changed to:
sudo ifdown eth0
sudo ifup eth0
but when I do that I get "interface eth0 not configured"
I look in:
/etc/network/interfaces
and all it has is:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
no eth0?
where can I study up on networking on 11.04?
The indicator in the Gnome menu bar can disconnect/reconnect
connections or turn networking off or on - is it using scripts to do
this work?

There seems to be some discrepancy in the way this has been automated in various releases. network-manager is supposed to work, but doesn't always. It sounds from the description of your interfaces file that network-manager is what you have been using. If you drop into a terminal and run (as sudo):
killall nm-applet and then nm-applet --sm-disable
what is the result?
If your default device is indeed eth0 (and not something else), you should see it - unless the nm-appliet has gone awry again (as it has on my systems numerous times).
If you're using ip addressing, you can always add the appropriate info to the /etc/networking/interfaces file yourself.
If you're acquiring the address dynamically (a la dhcp), there is a client that you can run - dhcp3 iirc, that should lease an address for you.
Other more knowledgeable than I will likely have more specific advise, but this should get you a starting point.
