To start, lets see what happens when you re-install network-manager. You can find it under Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center -> then search for network manager.

Edit:

Ok... well... slight brain fart. Once you uninstall network manager... you still won't have Internet in order to download and install it again.

You can either try downloading the network manager .deb file from another computer and then copying it over from a thumb drive or you can check the /var/cache/apt/archives as descrived here in order to reinstall it. The only network related package I found in that directory however was libqt4-network_4%3a4.6.2-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb. Not sure if that is what you need.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 dual booted with Windows Vista on a work Lenovo R61 laptop. The home and work wireless connection were working fine. I lost all internet connection at work. The IT guy clearly knew nothing about Linux. Since he 'fixed' it, I get nothing, no WLAN signal the Network Manager icon was gone, no internet. I still have the live disc and if I run from the live disc the connections are there and everything works perfectly. How do I restore the internet easily on my laptop? I have been using Linux for 3 years but I am still a bit of a newbie, this is the first major problem I've had in three years. It's driving me nuts.

Thanks

  Output of ifconfig -a and iwconfig -a would be nice to see.

  Don't be too hard on your IT guy. In most workplaces, your dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows system is not a supported configuration, and any customizations are your responsibility.

  Also, you recently updated to Ubuntu 10.4. Has this worked since you upgraded?

Thanks for trying. I'm at the stage that I might save all my files and go for a fresh re-install. I just don't want any thing to happen to M/S as it is my works O/S.

@Keeper780 Does it tell you that it is an invalid command when you try to open up the software center? It is difficult to fix this because we have no idea what your IT guy did. If he opened up the terminal and typed in commands, you can see what commands he typed by opening up the .bash_history file in your home directory with a text editor (its a hidden file).
