Have you tried using NetworkManager? I dunno but that worked for me when the network tool didnt. Just open the terminal sign in to root and type /sbin/service NetworkManager start then type exit and once your back to the user terminal type NetworkManagerInfo & look at the panel next to the clock and you should see a new applet there click on it and find your connection. maybe im misunderstanding the problem but i i hope this helps.
