Just to follow up my own thread, I've tracked it down to a clash between
network settings & network tools devices.
I'm just connecting through eth1 my PCI 1G network card.
In Network tools device eth0 and eth1 are both disabled !
In Network settings eth0 is not configured and eth1 is active, enabled and
set with the IP data.
If network tools eth1 is configured the network icon at the top of the main
window loses its connection.
Can anybody make any sense of this... very confusing for a newbie to Linux.
