I have recently done a clean install of F18 including the MATE desktop which, as a fairly basic user, I find quite easy to use - I DID NOT install the gnome desktop.
In the Fedora documentation Chapter 5 discusses Network Configuration - both the Network Administration Tool and the system-config-network command - as being the method to configure network interfaces as well as managing DNS settin
I'm sure there are a hundred ways to do this setup but very simply, my desktop is a very decent 2 monitor setup running 11.10 desktop and i want to load up two or so Virtualbox distro's and park them in my second monitor to create a network ( desktop is hooked via eth0 to my wireless router ) and i would like to be able to access these machines for testing etc with my laptop running bt5.
I have a wired desktop running 9.10 and a wireless laptop running Ultimate Edition 2.6 (aka Ubuntu 10.04). They both connect to a Netgear router. I took down the firewalls on both computers and the router. I also configured remote desktop to accept connections on both puters, but when I go to network all I see is Windows Network. Click on that and I get "unable to mount".
It's possible to have a GUI system without Network Manager. I just built (am building) an xbmc system and used CentOS 6 for it. It has gnome running with xbmc on top and I have no Network Mana... [by TrevorH]

the network configuration gui you get to via the panel (system>administration>network) has some issues.
first and most annoying to me, you are unable to delete any new devices you create here.
Scenario: I have an old Dell desktop connected to my router. The router's a Linksys WRT54G with the Tomato firmware. The box has openssh-server installed and running on port 2222.
I use dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
No network-manager installed.
This makes the dhclient run with option "-1":dhclient3 -e IF_METRIC=100 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases -1 eth0
dhclient manpage:
The -1 flag will cause dhclient to try once to get a lease.
I am new to Linux. I tried to install Slackware 14 on a fresh partition, with the rest of the HD as free space, except for the small "Dell" partition that seems to be necessary.
I got Slackware working more or less, but I couldn't figure out how to connect to the internet.
Hello,
I'm running Fedora 11, and just did an update of the system. It looks like there was an update to the package that takes care of knetwork manager. In the past, I have played around with it, but it hasn't met my needs, so I went back to nm-applet, which works fine.
