Any pointers appreciated.
For a while it looked like a bad cable as I was able to connect on a different one from the same router. The connection lasted long enough to d/l an update. Then I closed the connection. Today none of the cables from the router allow a connection. The nm-applet swears I'm connected but trying to ping the router gives "operation not permitted". Wireless continues to work. I *think* that removes the router from suspicion. If I'm wrong please correct me. -- Bob Holtzman Your mail is being read by tight lipped NSA agents who fail to see humor in Doctor Strangelove Key ID 8D549279
