Obviously (as you surely know all ready) you can manually disconnect the Ethernet cable, or if it is wireless and you have a hardware switch you can use that. If you are using nm-applet it should work to disconnect via the GUI, not entirely sure why it wouldn't. How are you starting nm-applet for your network? -- Regards -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
