I renamed the log file and demonstrated the bug in a new small file rather than have you wade through a huge file that demonstrates the bug for over 6 months plus other unnecessary info. The original Network Manager log file is available should you wish. The new presentation of the GUI interface that controls IP addressing, in my opinion was retrograde in comparison to the ease of the version in 10.2. The New presentation in 10.3 has many more issues, one of which is to drop the established gateway IP if you change a static IP amongst a whole lot of other stuff, however I am not going to bug report all the other issues. Traditionally, any errors or suggestion in making the Yast GUI Network tool better or to fix errors have been met with a WONTFIX first and foremost. The same is true with anything to do with Suspend to Disk OR RAM. I have attached a screen image of current settings No testers out there are prepared to bug report either applications. I am heartened you are interesting in this issue now, I was expecting the normal WONTFIX ;-) I have attached screen images of current network entries in the Yast Network Tool -- 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.

For those of us who have had long years of experience in dealing with security the Innate trust of any IP enabled device and also handing them out to anyone makes further securing sensitive Network quite hard. - I spend my whole life now doing this - where a completely trusted Internet meets a Mainframe running non trusting SNA. As far as DHCP is concerned, yes many are happy in business to hand out a valid IP and DNS Server IP's to anything that asks - Just find a plug or warm up the WIFI and DHCP will give you the keys to the business with possibly a single password standing in between 1 small layer. Yes, there are still secure sites out there and when I am asked to help many things have to change. First thing to go is DHCP and the admins have to find out , sometimes for the first time, how many IP's they need to hand out to who and keep static IP's and DNS Servers - Next goes in MAC assignment along with the static assignment. Then fun starts happening when, totally non-authorized/non secure staff start complaining (sometimes on-mass) their laptops bought from home wont work? *****************So why all this crap*********** - I just wanted everyone who worked on this bug to know the Internet may run the world by trusting every device and DHCP will hand a trusted IP over. But in some government etc locations there are still many who disable DHCP first and move to static assignment with combined MAC ID. DHCP is NEVER turned on and is the FIRST thing removed. ....;-) -- 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.
