Yes, I discover this last week too!
However, it's a classical waste of time: why rewrote a *preflet* which 
will works only with the O' net_server config design, 
something we're not trying to reproduce!?
Anyway, the GUI-only code may help...

Oh. It compiles fine for me, but you can just "jam" in /current/src/
prefs/network directory. A "jam" at /current compile it fine, instead.
See bellow.

Looks fine. Please commit ASAP in... let's say /net_kit/source/apps/
pref, so we all can see what we're talking about.
BTW, yes I plan to move to /current/* somedays, but not right now, as 
I'm not that confident in my jam skills.
Which are limited to... well, running "jam" today ;-)

You'll find the latest version compiled today here:

Here how this R5 Network preflet rewrote looks :

Fixed. 
Tell me when you want we report a better progress % than the current 0% 
of this task.
