Its also very confusing to someone who has used Linux for years. What the heck is Network tools, Network settings. Icon? The network is configured in /etc/network/interfaces. Plain old text file. If you want to rely on your Desktop Environment (DTE) to controll your network, you need to tell us what DTE you are using as there are at least 3 DTEs plus a plethora of plain old Window Managers (WMs). Once you give that info, then only those of us familiar with your DTE would bother speculating. Good luck. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
