Network icon [solved]

[grimx]

Mandriva 2007 installed

 

Ok, you know the icon next to the clock on Gnome desktop, well i right clicked it and in the submenu checked the option

not to connect to the internet on startup.

Well i cannot connect with out it, how do i get that icon to reappear again.

 

see theres a weard way i have to connect to the internet, i have (ether and pppoe) connections here is what i do

1 disconect ether

2 connect pppo

and i'm connected to the internet.

I tryed using system services and set pppoe to connect on startup and that did not work, i need the icon .

And the only way i have been able to do that is with the icon that is supposed to show up right next to the clock.

 

Help

Not sure at all what you are after- you can have a gazillion different icons on the Gnome tray, but it seems it is

 

alt+F2

net_applet

 

Or not?

As scarecrow has noted, there are many different icons (applets) on the Gnome panel.

I'm guessing you had the NetworkManager applet? If so, it would be

nm-applet

yea it was net_applet i needed, but when i did that and tryed to connect to the internet i couldn't using ppp0,

i tryed deleting ppp0 and creating another and it still would'nt connect,

so i reinstalled Mandriva all over again from scratch and it works fine.

so problem solved.

i know not to do that again. lol
