On advice in an earlier thread, it was suggested that ifconfig was interfering and that I had no use for it. That I should move it aside so that it would not be found. I moved it to a dir I keep in root for such things -- /root/MoveAsides. That action did get NM reworking, but the service called 'network' remains running apparently. My problems are all those annoying little gnome issues I listed in my original post. All of which seemed to have started when I turned NM off then on again. My main objective is to get my networking working properly with no extra programs or processes hanging around. I want -- need -- to start poking around my network setup to learn networking. I want to make sure that there is a direct correlation between my poking and any network breakdowns so I can trace back what I shouldn't have done. -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.3 Evo.2.22.3.1, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
