Is your system using NetworkManager service or is the networking configured statically? In case of the former (which is a typical setup for casual desktop users), what desktop environment are you using? Does it provide some frontend for NetworkManager with which network connections can be configures? I think all the bigger, user-friendly desktop environments do so by default. The gui for configuring connections is commonly available by clicking on its icon somewhere. Some desktops (also depending on how they were packaged) might leave such networking gui for the user to set up, tho. Anyway, if you just want to restart the *thing* responsible for managing connections, you can try `sudo herd restart network-manager`.
