You're probably referring to the belt in the file manager of kde (called 
kfm), ate least I suppose.
It means the access to that directory is restricted. Not everyone can open it.
I think that icon comes up when YOU aren't allowed to access it, but I don't 
remember 100% sure (since I don't use it)

Two possibilities :
a) you don't have the net-tools package and you must install it.
b) your PATH evnironment variable doesn't contain /sbin, check with :
echo $PATH, add it by modifying the ~/.bash_profile
c) are you really root? type : id
to be sure

Next time. One question per post, please. It Makes it so much easier to 
answer.

Ciao,
Michele
