Adding to what others said .... The network manager applet usually looks like wifi/wireless/wired network symbol in your task bar. You can right/left click on it to configure the network. If you truly do not have in your task bar - it is called nm-applet on ubuntu. When you start it - it does no open new window as you would expect from an application - it puts its symbol to your task bar - where you can left/right click it. I can imagine you can have a few of them running without major issues. HTH, Tomas
