How are you connected to your DSL network? Via PPPoE? Or are you connected to a router which deals with the login information? Anyway, what is the output of iconfig -a? pppoe: I think so, as I had to enter in a user name and password in order to get the modem (Siemens SpeedStream 4100) to connect in the beginning. router: I also have a wired Ethernet router/wireless gateway (Hawking HWR54G) between the modem and my PC, because I'm trying to set up a Vonage account here soon. (The Vonage adapter is not yet connected, though.) iconfig: bash says command not found. Sorry, typo: ifconfig -a How did you set up the pppoe connection? Which tool did you use? Independent from the problem, technically the best solution would be to let the router manage the pppoe stuff. Your computer would be connected to the WLAN without caring for the pppoe stuff, and other computers would not have to either. Created attachment 294548 [details]
Output from "ifconfig -a"
And how do you set up the internet connection if it is not set up by NM? I originally (more than a year ago) set up the connection through the automated Windows tools provided by my ISP. Ever since then, whenever I've installed the next version of Fedora (or while trying out another distro) the network portion of the install wizard automatically recognized the presence of a connection and set it up without my having to run any commands. To clarify what I reported on Friday, my network/Internet connection is still fully functional, as it was on Friday, but for some reason on that /one day/, KNetworkManager was saying in the system tray that my connection was "not found" when it was really OK. With regards to my router, I think that it or the modem itself already handles the PPPoE sign-in process, as once I had it set up in the beginning, I never after that had to sign in to go online. Ah, I see. Is the problem still valid? That means, can you reproduce it? If not it might be that there was a small bug in networkmanager or knetworkmanager itself or just in the communication part between these two, and without the ability to reproduce that it is hard to dig deeper into the problem. As I don't remember doing anything unusual with the computer just before that happened [beyond what I already mentioned above], I don't know how to reproduce it. It only happened the one time. Author can't reproduce, closing; please reopen the bug if you encounter it again |
