    Problems after restoring setuid root

    Hi all. I know i should not play with the permission stuff but after i had played a lil with chmod (the setuid root thing)and after applying the solution that solved my problem, i ran into another one, i cannnot acces my internet. Its like if my pc dont have any network card. i keep activating the connection and the icon in the tray shows a connection but i dont access to internet. And after i reboot to see if the changes are still in effect, the settings are set back to default like if i never had a network card.

    here is the method i used to restore my sudo access

    In recovery mode :

    chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo
    chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers

    The i rebooted and everything returned to normal exept for my internet. The icon in the tray look like a disconnected wire. I am trying to solve the problem but without any luck.

    I found this method (chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo and chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers) on a linux mIRC channel. It solved my problem for the permission stuff maybe its also the cause of my internet problem.

    Sorry to be a bother but i really need help on this one.
