yes 192.168.1.14 255.255.255.0 search nfs2.no-ip.org clmboh1-dns2.columbus.rr.com wahoo.no-ip.org nameserver 129.250.35.250 nameserver 209.253.113.18 nameserver 205.171.3.65

but no luck :^(

tks,

The IP address of the gateway is missing. Probably 192.168.1.1.

my bad, you are correct, gateway is 192.168.1.1, router addr.

And what exactly happened?

We are talking of network manager with manual fixed config.

I set them in yast-netowrk and then changed to NetworkManager network control (in yast).

Where do you manually fix the config for NM, my

/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifcfg-suse,keyfile

Hold the Presses!

I have one laptop working. Enabled NM wiget, configured network from the widget wrench assigning fixed ip and router gateway, 192.168.1.1, and connected from the config menu.

Closed the config menu and am now able to reconnect using the widgettttt.

Trying the other laptop and will advise.

tks much, guess the secret is gateway and fixed ip. What happens when I travel and use, say HolidayInn's network. Have to again use a fixed or same fixed ip and gateway ???

Ok, both laptops will now connect using NM but *only* at runlevel 5. If I log out of the GUI or decend to runlevel 3, I have no internet connection and do not seem to be able to achieve it using nmtui/nmtui-connect/nmtui-edit/....

NM needs AP secrets; these secrets can either be stored in NM configuration directly or provided by user agent running as part as user session. The widget you mention not only offers GUI to configure NM, but also provides user agent that supplies passwords on request. These agents traditionally were available for GUI sessions only and stored secrets in KDE KWallet or GNOME Keyring. When you designate connection as "available for all users" (or "system connection") secrets are stored centrally so NM can connect without waiting for a user. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
