Greetings all,

I have a question about the susewatcher program. It seems that this program is designed to check on security updates, etc. autmatically and alert you with a change in the icon if there are new updates available, right?

That is what I thought as well, but mine does not seem to be doing this automatically. I think I have determined the reason why, but don't have a clue on how to change it. As I have both cable service and a modem connected, it seems to be getting confused as to what it is to use to do these checks. Right now it is indicating the modem, I believe. If you click on the icon, the YOU Status window opens and mine presently shows: Network: Dial-up connection (Offline)

I think it should be showing Network: Direct Connection, though for the cable connection? If that is the case, how does one go about changing it to reflect that?

Ok, I think I have found the answer, but if not, please feel free to correct me! ;o) It seems the config file in ~/.kde/share/config/susewatcherrc has the setting. In that file the Network was set for "dialup" and should have been "direct" it seems. I now have Direct connection in the YOU status window, so now I wait for it check to test if my theory is correct.
