My openSuSE 11.1 (KDE4.1) connects to the network only after the user is logged in. This is an issue because I use often this machine as a server and all I want is to start the machine without any user logged in. I could automatically log an user at boot, but I have several users and I don't want to have an user logged automatically to this machine. Is there a way to connect to the LAN at boot, without needing a user to be logged in?
Go into the NIC configuration in Yast. You can specify when you want a network interface to start. One option is at boot time..
What you actually want is to use the "traditional ifup" method of configuring the card as well as have it start at boot time. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
