Hi,OK, strangely managed to fix this, tho not sure how.
I'm a Linux newbie using RH 9.0 and am now getting a new error message.
Basically redhat-config-network has been working fine with my modem and ethernet card up until a day or so ago when using up2date I upgraded it to version 1.2.15 (this may or may not be associated with the problem).
Now, whenever I launch r-c-n in gnome (as non-root user), I get a warning:
redhat-config-network:
Error copying
//etc/hosts
to //etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/hosts:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '//etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/hosts'!
Note however, that I can just click OK, and then the config-network tool opens up as usual, and the modem/ethernet seem to work fine.
I can see its some kind of permission thing, and needless to say I don't get the warning if in Gnome as root.
Any ideas? Is it a bug?
I saw some bug mentioned similar to this at
http://www.spinics.net/lists/rh-phoebe/msg03389.html
but following it up didn't help.
Any ideas please?

In the Network device control tool, under the device configuration, I created a copy of the current network profile which called itself defaultCopy0. Bizarrely doing that alone stopped the permission warning message I was getting when loading the Network device control panel.
But then this new network profile "defaultCopy0" refused to delete within the Network configuration tool. You would click delete from the menu, and it would dissapear, but when you save the changes and go back into the main Network device control panel, It'd still be there.
Then when I logged out, I got an exception related to redhat-config-network which sadly dissappeared to quickly for me to catch, but which hasn't appeared since.
As root, had to delete the offending profile folder from /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/ which seemed to do the trick to get rid of defaultCopy0.
Reckon there's possibly something fishy lurking in these network profiles at the mo (on my machine anyhow)
