Description Pierre-Luc Auclair 2009-03-25 16:48:32 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When connecting to a MS network which requires a "domain", you need to type in a backslash in the name in this manner:
domain\username

Doing so with knetworkmanager seems to be working fine, but with the KDE4 network manager there seems to be some trouble. When configured properly, it will not connect but stay with at "plug" icon instead of switching to the round "I'm working" animated icon although the gui says "Connecting Hotspot". It seems to be failing directly after that.

This is the configuration file, as you can see there's an escape backslash before the backslash:

Comment 1 Will Stephenson 2009-08-16 23:00:36 UTC
Can you test this again with latest knetworkmanager?
