Network centre problem? [SOLVED]

[AS]

The next time it won't let you disconnect, try to left-click on the net_applet icon (will start network center), select the active interface, there is a button on the right bottom of the window, labeled "Disconnect/Connect", try to use that button, it could be a temporary workaround until a solution is found.

Sorry, I left that out that I try to do that and it does not disconnect that way.

That could exclude net_applet as source of the problem, not sure about, need to look into ...


Another possible workaround, this time form a terminal, it to use one of the following commands, after su to root:

Code: [Select]

su
service network stop
service network start
service network restart
the meaning of each one is obvious.

That's great, thank you.

All in all I work around it the way I do. Shutdown and reboot after quitting the network.

I must say that since I mentioned it in post #49 it hasn't happened. I have done a few shutdowns and boot ups in that time. So maybe now it is fixed somehow.

When I updated with synaptic today . I shutdown and booted up several times and it happened again. Maybe I am just lucky so far now. We'll see how it goes the rest of tonight and tomorrow.

Thanks again for taking the time to work on this.

Just an update.
 Another day and the problem seems to have gone away. Not since the last mention of a problem, so that is good. So maybe the fix worked but took a bit to take hold. We will see. Thanks again.
