Why do you need to login to Gnome as root? Don't.

You don't need to login to Gnome as root to do that. Login as a regular

You could run 'network-admin' from the command line, but like I said
that's not necessary. If you go to System > Administration > Networking
as a regular user Ubuntu will ask you for a password.
