If it already exists could you please tell me where i find it? I did not see anything in the repos and I have been trying to configure it manually for quite some time but with no success and a lot of profanities so I am definitely in favor of a snappy solution.]]> Fri, 07 Mar 2008 09:40:42 +0000 ]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:53:03 +0000

Either we need gnome-ish windows that have it all, or those apps need to be simplified for people to build an understanding on top of.]]> Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:43:27 +0000
I say there should be a simple, icon-based network manager as an alternative, which shows all the available network connections as icons surrounding the computer, and if you drag between the computer and an icon you create a network connection with some default settings but a dialogue pops up so you can confirm the settings before clicking ok; the advantage of this is that you can also drag between network connections to create bridges, or right-click on a space and click "add other host" or something and it would add another network/internet host, which you could drag between your host and theirs to create a VPN. Or you could drag a connection to the host to setup using it as a proxy on that connection.

Perhaps I'm just rambling... I'll set to work on a mock-up nonetheless and see if I can get in touch with the networkmanager guys about this (stop me if I'm wasting my time)]]> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:16:47 +0000
