[Klug-general] Loss of Internet link

[Michael E. Rentell]

My thanks to Frank Attwood and to Linux Girlie for the helpful hints. I 
tried their idea, delete the existing link and then reboot the machine.
Sorry - same situation. Any further suggestions would be most gratefully 
received.
Also - an apology. It was only on receiving a copy of my original email 
back from Frank Attwood that I see I ama transmitting emails in html.
I hope that has now been eliminated from my Thunderbird postings.
Pretty obvious I'm not good at this isn't it?

have you tried going into the control center, deleting the network 
interface, reboot the machine and then go back into the control centre 
and going through the setup a new network interface wizard?

+0100</i><br>&gt;Good day all,<br>&gt;This is, no doubt, an elementary 
question but I have a small problem <br>&gt;and I wondered if someone 
could give me a steer.<br>&gt;I have Mandrake 10.1 with KDE and Gnome 
GUIs available and it all <br>&gt;works very well. Until recently the 
KDE start-up connected my <br>&gt;broadband connection to the Internet 
and worked fine.<br>&gt;Then I thought I would switch to Gnome out of 
interest. Did that - <br>&gt;no problems. However, now that I've gone 
back to KDE my GUI system <br>&gt;starts but the Internet is not 
connected.<br>&gt;It is only a 2 minute task to click 
<br>&gt;system/configure/(password)/Networks and start the USBNet driver 
for <br>&gt;my Ambit cable modem (I'm with NTL-but you'd guessed that 
from my <br>&gt;email address hadn't you?) but I would like to avoid 
that if <br>&gt;possible.<br>&gt;I am sure there must be a text 
configuration file somewhere I can <br>&gt;edit as Root to put it all 
back to as it was before I fiddled with <br>&gt;Gnome.<br>&gt;If anyone 
has a suggestion or two, that would be very welcome.<br>&gt;Thanks for 
your attention.<br>&gt;Mike Rentell in
