I left the settings overnight as described above, but they didn't remain in memory as set to eth0 in order to allow internet access after I shut the computer down last evening and restarted it this morning. I had to go back into yast to reset the settings to eth0 for IPv4 and IPv6 to get back on the internet. Can anyone advise me what file I need to modify to set this to eth0 for IPv4 and IPv6 permanently to allow internet access?
Thanks, Mark
The settings for wicket are stored in /etc/sysconfig/network/ in a few files. These are ifcfg-eth0 and router. More general settings in config and dhcp, which generally do not need any changing to make the network work. In case you use DHCP for both systems, the content of these files should not differ. You may show the content for further help.

I'm not sure why,but the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 file rewrote itself with several errors when the repair work on the dsl line was being performed. There were two specific errors in file that caused the computer to be unable to connect to the internet. First, the name of the network card was missing from the file. I wrote that into the file by copying a line from the same file in a computer that had opensuse installed that could reach the internet. Second, there was an extra line inserted in the file that was wrong: DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE='yes' was written correctly in the file. Then a few lines below it, DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME='yes' was written. The default for that setting is no, according to the /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp file. The two settings conflicted with each other. I compared the ifcfg-eth0 file in the problem computer with the same file in a working computer, and the working computer didn't have that line in the file. So I just deleted that line in the file in the problem computer. After those changes were made and the file saved, the computer would connect automatically to the internet.
