There is an icon on the upper panel next to the date which, when I put the mouse cursor over it, displays the message "no network connection". As I mentioned in a previous post, the system stopped connecting at boot, and I got internet connectivity by executing dhclient. Obviously, that command by itself does not properly set network connectivity and I have not figured out yet how to fix the broken step in bootup. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
