Today the network went down for the whole building. After about 1/2 hour people were able to use the internet again. So was I on my wireless laptop but I am still isolated on my wire (Ethernet) desktop. Both systems are running Linux/SuSE ..... Someone here suggested that Linux looses sone network infor which is written in a /etc system file whenever the network service is interrupted abruptly. Is that true ? I tried to reboot but nothing changed. Why the wireless system has not been affected ? How can I retrieve the lost piece of data ?
Thank you so much, Maura
I just caught and read this thread. Other people have given good advice, but I'd like to add that sometimes flaky hardware will... well, flake out. The NIC may not be properly sending a wakeup or is failing when the system tries to restart services the first time (if, say, the card is slow to establish protocol). Maybe a small script that tests for a network connection and restarts services if found could set to run occasionally by cron. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
