Thanks Antonio, This is my first encounter with Linux, so please forgive me for being clueless. I downloaded the agrsm package and installed it by double clicking it using the file browser. I then rebooted but I'm not sure where to go from here. I searched help and found a page that said to open SYSTEM > ADMINISTRATION > NETWORK, but I couldn't find the NETWORK menu item. I read YourSystem.txt, looked and found a VPN WIRED item - Auto eth0, I deleted it but it keeps reappearing when I reboot. How can I tell if the drivers are loading? Where do I go from here? Thanks for the help.
