Hence my first question. The way I start an internet connection is to open Mozilla , press the configure network icon and press activate. The connection is made but there is no indication of what is happening as there is with Explorer. I therefore have no idea if and when the connection is made. Sound output is connected to another device so I cannot hear any tones. Must I disconnect this and rely on sound to know what is going on or is there another way?
I use a program called gkrellm to monitor my internet connection. It has some whizzy graphs to monitor a few other things too (memory usage, swap space etc.) You can also use it to start an internet session too. I think a few distros have it on their CD's to install, if this is the case with your distro then *hopefully* it will configure itself too.
