Thanks for your comment.

Part of the problem is that, for some reason, I can't toggle between
enabling and disabling the network interface, which I was able to do
before.

I made a note of the IP address and the net mask and entered them by
hand.  It seemed to work but in more recent versions of Xfce, it did
that automatically.
