From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: The applet in Gnome (Network Configuration) that you are supposed to use to modify IP information in RedHAt 7.2 dosn't work. You can't save the information. You can modify what ever you want to, but when you go to hit 'apply' nothing happens. Then if you click 'close' a window pops us and asks if you want to save your changes yes, no, or cancel. If you click yes, nothing happens. If you click no, the applet closes and your changes are lost. If you've made changes adn then click the 'x' in the top right corner of the window, you get the message asking if you want to save, If you click 'yes' here the applet window closes and your changes are lost.
