No, this is an issue for me as well. Let's make things clear.

Ubuntu's default desktop (Gnome) has a small network connections icon at
the upper right (much like M$ Windows does at its lower-right).
Normally, that network icon is a little screen. Mine, however, has a
small orange exclamation point on its lower right. This indicates the
network is not up, even though (as already pointed out) I am on the
network right now.

Further, when I run the "Hardware Testing" program from System >
Administration, it correctly identifies my network card (a 3com) but
also says I am not connected to the network. Again, I am.

As the first poster said, when the network connections icon is clicked
on, it is greyed out, an indication to me that though Ubuntu knows I'm
connected, the Gnome desktop does *not* know that.

This is a cosmetic problem mainly, since I can do everything I want to
on the web, email, and even using SSH Server to back up files from my
Windows box. But I would like Ubuntu's desktop to function as flawlessly
as what's underneath it...

Thanks for any clues.
