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..
-- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org
Please be more specific because I don't find the NIC configuration in Yast. I have used ifup to start the network and I see that the network interface should start automatically at boot, but still the machine is not accessible till a user is logged.
