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. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
