never mind guys figured 1 out on own research. if needs know how though tell it's pretty easy , here is.
when first copied , pasted configuration script conkyrc file had been set wired ethernet connection not running. since using wifi connection needed change in script. here codes various internet options.

1) eth0 - built in ethernet
2) eth1 - gigabit pc card work
3) eth2 - gigabit pc card home
4) ppp0 -- verizon wireless card
5) wlan0 -- wireless lan (wifi)

went down bottom of configuration file , changed said 'eth0' 'wlan0' (without quotes obv).
anyway i'm feeling pretty proud of myself troubleshooting myself. hope may else out down road!
