The only way eth0 can be active is if you have a cat5 cable plugged in.

Nope, no cable plugged in...

Show us the results of ifconfig.

I have manually assigned 192.168.1.4 to eth0 and 192.168.1.3 to wlan0 and ifconfig does not show them!? /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts are okay The Knetworkmanager icon says:"unavailable" at mouse over....

Ken, there must be a conflict between KDE 4.3 and Gnome or missing stuff... I use KDE 4.3.1, but I also have some Gnome stuff installed. When I look in gnome-control-center in the network properties I see totally different settings than in KDE Knetworkmanager. I have added my devices in Knetworkmanager, but they are set up different in gnome-control-center. I now have removed nm-applet from Gnome with RPM, but the issue still is there.

Of course you see different things in Gnome and KDE because bot NetworkManager clients have their own config. The sense of using NetworkManager is to not have systemwide networkconnections but only per client. So assigning IPs in YaST and then using NM will not work, same the other way around and setting-up a connection for nm-applet will only set it up for nm-applet and not knetworkmanager. Changing your kmail settings does not change them for evolution either. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
