reinstalled kdewallet manager and removed network manager--help![solved]

[ejt]

I really messed up big this time. Trying to get the kde wallet out of the way to access a wep protected wireless connection I removed kdewallet. This didn't help so I reinstalled kdewallet manager and didn't realize I was removing my ethernet connection. now I can't get network manager back because I'm unable to connect to the internet. What can I do?

Thanks for your reply, but I solved my problem by upgrading to 9.10.

To set your network manually you need to write to /etc/resolv.conf your dns servers, for example:

nameserver 213.46.172.36
nameserver 213.46.172.37

and to /etc/network/interfaces your ip address, netmask and gateway, for example

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0


iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1

Then you need to restart network with

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

and you should have your network connection back.
