Yes. It can be very simple or more complex, depending on your setup. For example, if you get the IP, GW, etc. from DHCP, all you need is something like:
work,*,*,*) # Work scheme # Transceiver selection, for some cards -- see 'man ifport' IF_PORT="" # Use BOOTP (via /sbin/bootpc)? [y/n] BOOTP="n" # Use DHCP (via /sbin/dhclient)? [y/n] DHCP="y" # Use /sbin/pump for BOOTP/DHCP?

As you see, very little is changed.
On the other hand, in my home network, I have it a bit more complicated:
homenet,*,*,*) # Home scheme # Transceiver selection, for some cards -- see 'man ifport' IF_PORT="" # Use BOOTP (via /sbin/bootpc)? [y/n] BOOTP="n" # Use DHCP (via /sbin/dhclient)?

So you're saying we have to hardcode all of the information in the /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file?

Assuming you are talking about a PCMCIA network card, let me suggest something to you. If you used YAST to setup the network card, don't! Remove the card from the basic network setup in YAST, then modify /etc/pcmcia/network.opts with all your network parameters. You can also use it to create different schemes (work, dialup, homenet, etc.) Until I figured this one out, I had a lot of grief with the networking part.

I'm STILL, for the third or so day, trying to get SuSE to run right on my friend's laptop. The latest problem is on bootup, I'm getting "error while executing /sbin/route add default gw 134.x.x.x." So, I went into /etc/route.conf and commented out the line with the default gateway address. I'm not getting the error anymore, but I'm still not able to connect it to the network. With that line uncommented, it seems to load the card without incident.

And it's been doing it every few seconds since. Now, in the networking-HOWTO, I noticed something about needing to have IP multicasting enabled in the kernel. Is this true for DHCP? Also, what purpose does the "search=" entry serve? Thanks. _________________________ Joseph A. Hylkema josephhy@wsu.edu "Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
