• Let’s try this again:

  Hello everyone,

  I am not seeing the “Network Connections” menu option (to configure the network) on one of my CentOS 6.6 machines, even on user root, in Gnome under System -> Administration. It’s not anywhere else, either. Can anyone point me in the direction of having that added? Thanks!

• yum install nm-connection-editor

  On Mate it shows up under System-Preferences-System-Network Connections

• Yeah, I’m having a tough day, THAT is where it should be found, but isn’t, under Gnome, on this one machine. Typing what you did above gave me an error of “no such package”. I then tried yum install
  *connection* and yum install *editor* and nothing came up that matches what I need.

• The Gnome developers probably decided that users did not need to see that.

• or if you don’t have it installed somewhere, you can:
  yum whatprovides ‘*/nm-connection-editor’
