John Sorry for the confusion, I think this post changed tack half way through and I may have posted the reply to the wrong message subject! My problem was related to my system being able to see the wireless networks but would not connect to them via the gnome network applet. The applet would consistently throw up a box requesting the passphrase which just kept looping and opening again when the passphrase was entered. As stated, installing "wicd" solved the problem at that time. Interestingly a few months after that my hard drive failed and I decided to ditch Windows and just installed 9.10 onto the new drive. From that point on the gnome network applet worked perfectly even handling global changes when I switched from my wired, work network which had various proxy settings to my home wireless set-up which didn't. Anyway, apologies for any confusion caused by my posting to the wrong thread. Stu
