I have one laptop working. Enabled NM wiget, configured network from the widget wrench assigning fixed ip and router gateway, 192.168.1.1, and connected from the config menu.
Yes, of course, that's where I meant. I thought you were using the widget or applet or whatever it is called, all the time, not configuration files.
I don't have 13.2 on my laptop, so I can't try.
tks much, guess the secret is gateway and fixed ip. What happens when I travel and use, say HolidayInn's network. Have to again use a fixed or same fixed ip and gateway ???
Well, you can't. You need automatic setup on networks you have no control of.
This was simply a test to verify that the connection actually works. Now the next step is finding out why automatics, ie, dhcp, doesn't work.
I know that there are at least two dhcp client daemons, and sometimes one of them does not work. Find out from the logs (on automatic mode) or with "ps afxu | less" which client it is attempting to use, and remove the rpm if you do not find how to tell NM to use the other one.
removed configured connection added new wireless connection connected journalctl -u NetworkManager |grep -i dhcp no output after time stamp when removed previous config removed net config added new wireless didn't assign static ip connection now work as would be expected. checked journalctl .... again and still no dhcp entries and playing with the second laptop I find that running /sbin/dhcpcd <dev> obtains a lease and allows connection. What do I need to do to make sure that dhcpcd runs when required. I would think that it would be a service initiated by the need for an address??? tks, think we are getting somewhere. Still do not understand why a fresh install does not connect, at least in my experience, to wireless internet :^) tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
