Hey list
Sometime over the last 9 days I have updated my testing desktop system and when I went to reboot the theme settings on Gnome had changed and I am unable to access the Internet.
My partner's machine - from which this is sent - can access the Net fine.  I could until I rebooted.  I've created a second account and that user cannot access the Net either.
Help!!  I really have no clue what brought this about nor how to fix it.  I've stopped the Firestarter firewall, and restarted it; ditto with Tor and Polipo.  No change.
Did you make sure the interface was up? As root, ifconfig or sudo ifconfig or su -c ifconfig ....
