In the output from your commands you were not trying to ping the AP (according to to your route table). If you just want to use storage over your eth0 I can imagine that your problem might be fixed by changing your route table. I'm not a network expert but it is little bit strange to me to have same network (in terms of subnet) on different interface. So far I see no bug but a misconfiguration (on the other hand the misconfiguration might be a bug in the configurator). Please also attach yast2 logs. -- 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.

Actually it _should_be_possible_ to have 3 Network Cards in one Computer without having to bother about configuration issues.

This is what windows does, and os11.1 fails to do.

Reopening as enhancement.

So what do you propose as an enhancement? I fail to see that. It is perfectly possible to have different network cards and it works pretty well on my computer. You have weird setup and therefore you need to configure it yourself. I don't know what is windows doing and you didn't tell me. The screenshot says totally nothing about the configuration and whether it actually works or not. -- 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.

Programmer changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |REOPENED Info Provider|casualprogrammer@gmail.com | --- Comment #16 from Casual J. Programmer 2009-01-20 03:02:42 MST --- Not really, the bridge is only used to let others in my workgroup access the network storage that is in my second network. What I really expect, is the OS to detect the network cards (which os11.1 does) and propose a workable solution, maybe based on some information asked from the user. As is, the Notebook comes with two NICs integrated ( as most notebooks do these days ) which are detected and configured, so that at least WLAN access to the internet and the workgroup is running. The wirebound NIC is configured arbitrarily (based on what information ?) If I add the realtek NIC, it gets detected and yast lan simply presents it as "not configured", then it's up to the user to set it up, mostly like poking with a pole in the mist. I use the realtek to connect to the network storage, which can aquire an IP via DHCP or use a fixed one. As Windows XP (or 7 at that) does not act as DHCP server, I decided on a fixed IP. Since the two Networks are in no way connected to begin with, I think it's perfectly OK to chose the same segment. I will try with another segment as you suggested, but that doesn't solve the issue, that this is way beyond a "normal" users capacity. So, in my view, either yast or gnome should come up with some configuring aid here. The screenshot by itself says nothing about functionality, true, but at least it shows you how they go about this issue. And you may rest assured, that it works as explained. -- 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.
