When I go to System > Admin > Services (in Gnome), D-Bus is not listed and an rpm -q for it comes up blank. Is this something KDE should have installed during the Fedora installation? If so, how do I get it? JD, adding the "-dd" didn't help since the network never gets that far in KDE. Tim, unfortunately I am unable to get to my router which is located in the basement and I'm handicapped and can't get down the stairs. It was setup many years ago with admin access restricted to wired connection which I don't have up here. Hmmm, maybe I need a 100ft patch cord!
