    Choose Accessories → Text Editor. 

        		
Command line

        		

    Execute the following command: gedit

Correct version:
You can start GNOME Nettool in the following ways:

In OpenSUSE 10.2:
Computer->More Applications->Internet → Network Tools. 
	
Command line:
    Execute the following command: gnome-nettool


Other information:
I am using OpenSUSE 10.2, so the menu thing is not very clear.
(I had to use the search tool from the "start menu".)
It's easier to find configuration tools by command-line sometimes (if the helpfile is correct). ^^

The documentation is correct for stock Gnome.

I'm afraid that this is a weakness of the gnu/linux distro model -- the Gnome documentation describes stock Gnome, not the way distros customize Gnome to suit their needs.

It's up to your distro to make changes to the documentation if they also make changes to the user interface.

Closing as NOTGNOME, but thanks for taking the time to report this :)
