from following the many post for help with networking, one thing that
is apparent, 'network manager' is a good idea, but not without many
bugs. in most all of threads, main suggestion is 'turn it off'.

I too saw those posts.

i would have suggested this to you when i sent what i did on 'aopen',
accept that i thought it had already been suggested, which is usually
among first suggestions. from your last couple post, it became evident
that it was not.

To me, at the moment, the problem is not solved by turning
NetworkManager off.  (It is off for the moment so I can do some other
work easily.)  I consider it a bit of a challenge to either get it
working or finding out what the real 'bug' is.

rest assured, i am not trying to be 'off tone', 'snide', 'insulting',
or anything else of a negative attitude. just trying to offer you some
more help so you can enjoy a working linux system.

best to you.

If you'd like to learn more about linux networking, do as I did. Go to /etc/sysconfig/networking and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directories and poke around. Look at the scriplets and scripts in there and see how networking gets configured. In particular, look at the ifcfg-eth0 script and the ifup stuff. See how it all fits together. system-config-network does little more than put these scripts together so that your networking comes up properly configured upon bootup. ifup should configure and start a network interface, while ifdown should shut one down. (duh!) the command "ifup eth0" and "ifdown eth0" should start and stop networking on eth0 if its been configured properly.

Lots of fun!
