1. are we supposed to be using the network manager or ifup? and
I have never gotten network manager to work. I have ifup/ifdown/ifconfig on four boxes, three are Tumbleweed and two of those are wireless.
2. is the firewall supposed to be on or off?
All my boxes have firewall on.
In 12.3 neither were used as far as I know - ie, there was no network manager and the firewall was off by default. But in 13.1 both are active if I remember what I saw last night (I haven't been back at the laptop since last night - I'm getting sick of the damn thing! :-( )
as root, what does "ifconfig" give you. -- (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
