Hi!

I just installed 10 on my laptop at home (using a static IP through a Linksys box), tested both DHCP and Wireless, set up multiple profiles. Upon arrival at my hotel, the system came up, connected to their internal network with no problem. I also configured a local printer
I more or less (what do you mean by multiple profiles) did the same. Except, that I had DHCP at home and now at my parents place nothing (i.e. cable and WLAN) works with DHCP even though in windows it all works (with the exact same DHCP and laptop). I have no idea on how to get it to work as it just worked at my home. I thought this networks stuff was very well covered on linux, but currently it seems that windows is again years ahead. I keep on rebooting this linux system and hoping that after some reboot it would start to work. In YaST everything seems the same as I've always had (DHCP-everything). I really do not know which buttons to push anymore, I'm quite disappointed. (I could go to the shell to fix things if I knew how to. But I really only know YaST and that doesn't help... And it certainly isn't an answer to the other user of this laptop. For her, I need to get linux working as smoothly as win2000.) -- HG.
