(Aside: Why can't the "Network Configuration" app in Gnome be used for > this?) Bugger me - I don't know - I've always edited the network configurations using netconfig or edited them by hand myself. Way back when when I first joined the list it was suggested I do this so I actually 'learn' where things are.

Hey, I'll give it a shot. I'm no guru - I just happen to get this working first time - beginner's luck.
