2 weeks ago, i had my internet service changed from copper DSL to fiber DSL. now, every time i reboot, internet connection is automatically connecting on boot. before last update to 6.6, i could configure connection, now i can not bring up configuration window to disable auto connect. because of uneasy feelings about leaving computer up when i leave home, i disconnect 'bell line' so that when i am gone and have a mains failure and ups shuts down, i will not have internet connected when mains restore. also makes for uneasy feeling when retiring for night. :-) what do i have to do to change this? any and all replies / suggestions greatly appreciated. tia. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates.
