I have installed Kubuntu 10.10 alongside windows 7. In kubuntu 10.10 i tried to connect to internet using the DSL connection tab in the networkmanger on the taskbar -> manage connection -> DSL. i gave the username, password, ip address(manually) etc. checked the box of "connect automatically". The system connection checkbox was grayed out so i could not do anything to it. Then i clicked apply. But the connection that had just created didn't appear in the available connections. As there was no connection named that i created using DSL tab i could not connect to internet.

I used to connect to internet using the same method in Ubuntu 's networkmanager.

Is this some kind of bug in kde's network manager ? how can i solve it ?

Not only in the Kubuntu but in Fedora(KDE) it seems that the same bug is present also. It's really a BIG problem to new comers on the Linux system. Most of the guys who are new to Linux try to use KDE because of its beauty and I think the developers should fix this bug as soon as possible.
