Hello,

I am on sat. Internet and I like to DISCONNECT from the internet so I
know if something decides to run away with my data while I am not on
the computer, it will not happen because I essencially disconnect from
the internet.

But when clicking on the 2 blinking computer icons in the tray and
right clicking and going to DISCONNECT nothing happens, I am still
connected it does not matter what I click on disconnect, repair,
connect...

Is there a work around for this and why does the icons not work?

Thanks,
Christopher

Hi
Are you using nm-applet?

Obviously (as you surely know all ready) you can manually disconnect the
Ethernet cable, or if it is wireless and you have a hardware switch you
can use that.
If you are using nm-applet it should work to disconnect via the GUI, not
entirely sure why it wouldn't.  How are you starting nm-applet for your
network?



 Hello,
