I'm not sure which release of Ubuntu you're running, but you
may want to
install one of the following packages:

network-manager-gnome
network-manager-kde

They give you a nice system tray applet that lets you select
between wired or
wireless connections, and easily configure your wireless
encryption type
(WEP/WPA) and encryption keys.

Cheers
Ash

Too many networks!? Ubuntu gets confused ...

 &nbsp; &nbsp; Hi Ashley,

&nbsp;   ; I am running Ubuntu 6.10 with network-manager-gnome. As far as I know, on network manager i can only configure wireless connections and can't turn the wired connections off without turning wireless off as well.
 &nbsp; &nbsp; I've tried to reinstall the network manager, but without success.
 &nbsp; &nbsp; Any other suggestions?

 &nbsp;  Thanks.

&nbsp;   Daniel
