Aha :) You probably want to take this to Fedora-specific lists; you're using system-config-network on Fedora, not NetworkManager. This list is specific to the NetworkManager tool, which isn't what you're using. Try: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
Ok. I will try that. Meanwhile, Is there any way i can do it from NetworkManager. Any link which I could use? Thanks, Sripathy Cheers,
