Worse, when I move the mouse and the screen comes back on, the internet is disconnected, forcing a reboot.

Why does the internet being disconnected force a reboot? Please explain what you mean.

As root...

rcnetwork restart

should work.

That is not _normal_. Again, Why? Please explain.

If I knew why the Internet is disconnecting (network Comcast cable) when my computer screen shuts off, I wouldn't be posting. All I know is that when I move my mouse and the screen turns back on, sometimes (usually 2 hours or greater), my Internet is disconnected. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No problems when I'm working, it runs just fine. Bruce Marshall wrote:

Sounds to me like your power settings might be extreme but that's just a guess. If most everything shuts down during that period, it could easily snarfle your connection.

Is this a laptop? Still sounds like a power management problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ok... have you looked at the power mgmt settings?

(why do I feel I am having to pick your brains for info?)

I don't know. From the first message in this thread that I posted: "Okay, I pull up configure desktop on KDE and disable Power management, but it still seems to shut down the monitor after a given period when I reboot (it seems to hold during that session, at least for a while).Worse, when I move the mouse and the screen comes back on, the internet is disconnected, forcing a reboot." In other words: Yes I have looked in Power Management, both through Yast (which doesn't seem to have a disable power management function), and KDE (which does). Now, according to the KDE, which you find by right clicking on the wallpaper, going to configure desktop, clicking on "Display", and clicking on power control, Power Management is disabled, but when I reboot, and it's on, it will shut back down after a period. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just did, there's a power after AC failure and a SOL setting, nothing that even looks like shutdown the monitor after a given period of time. Bruce Marshall wrote:

Update on the monitor: Took a look at the menu and found a "Power Saver" setting, which I turned off. Now what this has to do with the Internet I have no idea (maybe the two issues aren't related). Bruce Marshall wrote:

I have the same problem with my laptop using a linksys pcmcia wireless card on 10.1B1. The onboard ethernet card does not have this problem.

Oops, that should be 10.2B1. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Dear Patrick,

This sounds very much like a comms issue with your modem.

Please tel us if this is a NEW problem or has it just started and if just started 'what has changed comms and ISP wise'

I believe that you have attributed something mistakenly to me. Best check the thread. I have no connect problems and am on cable, full time connect. You have posted an HTML message into a text only mail list. Please refrain. And please avoid TOFU. thankyou for volunteering your expertise. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
