I didn't find (but I'm not experienced with that) how to check whether network was configured statically or by dhcp with infinite lease time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
