Dear People,
When I install suse on a new machine as an internet-server it keeps adding an dummy0 device to ifconfig. How do i get rid of this dumm dummy?
I try to install this machine with 5.1 (2.0.32) an a machine which is meant to work through a router on a leased line. it keeps sending al the tcp/ip stuff to the dummy instead of eth0 (which is a 3c509). I can ofcourse delete the route but i wonder if this will fix the problem and i just want to get rid of the dummy.
Second problem,bug,whatever is yast. When i build my router i had to physically change my modem to ttyS0(com1) (which is my leased line) and my mouse to ttyS1. After every yast session (0.79.1) it has switched my manual settings back to modem ttyS1 and mouse to ttyS0. Anyone a bright idea how to fix this?
Hi, just set this to 'no' in /etc/rc.config and you get rid of the dummy device: # # setup dummy network device for IPADDR_0? this is useful for non permanent # network connections (e.g. SLIP, PPP). Some software needs a connection # to FQHOSTNAME (e.g. plp). (yes, no) SETUPDUMMYDEV=yes But anyway, you have to get your routing table correct.... The mouse and modem diveces are also set in rc.config: # # Which device is the mouse ? (e.g. "/dev/ttyS0") # MOUSE="/dev/psaux" # # Which device is the modem ? (e.g. "/dev/cua1") # MODEM="/dev/ttyS1" Ciao, BB -- Bodo Bauer S.u.S.E., LLC fon +1-510-835 7873 bb@suse.de 458 Santa Clara Avenue fax +1-510-835 7875 <A HREF="http://www.suse.com"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com</A">http://www.suse.com</A</A>> Oakland CA, 94610 USA -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
