now, every time i reboot, internet connection is automatically connecting on boot.
what do i have to do to change this?
If you use Network Manager, just right-click on the little doodad in your panel bar and un-check "Enable networking". When you want to re-connect, right-click on the little doodad and check "Enable networking".
well, i guess i have 'Network Manager' if it is the network icon, aka, "doodad", in the system tray. but it does not give config menu in center of screen as i used to see.
your reply got my 'chemo brain' to thinking again about what is presented for right-click.
with right-click, a settings menu pops up with;
[ ] Enable Networking [ ] Enable Wireless [ ] Enable Notifications (i) Connection Information {grayed out} [ ] Edit Connections (i) About
Enable Networking and Enable Wireless must be checked to enable either when icon is left-clicked and network _will_auto_connect_ after reboot.
if both are unchecked, left-click activates a grayed notice of 'Networking disabled' and network _will_not_auto_connect_ after reboot.
This will work regardless of whether your computer is hooked up with a wireless or wired ethernet connection.
if only it would with out auto connect on reboot.
thanks again for reply. open to more suggestions.
