Try checking your default runlevel, in yast2, under the Run-level-editor. Make sure it is 5, not 3. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
I think all I did was change the domain name from linux to sentry. I also changed the name to the right of the dos, but changed it back to local. When I get out network running under linux, I want to name each computer, but naming conventions are not clear yet. In the meantime, I am resorting to using win to access the net. I also tried to make dial on demand work. (demand = 1 in the wvdial.conf file? thanks, John R. Sowden American Sentry Systems, Inc. U.L.

From KDE I can go to the consoles, but when I try to return to the gui, I get an error message that says "Input not Accepted" or something similar. I have to (excuse the ms expression) reboot to get back to the gui. Psst, I still can't get on the internet if anyone has any thoughts. My ISP (dial-up) sees me log on ok, but my computer can't find any urls, mail addresses, etc. tia,

Good day John,
Psst, I still can't get on the internet if anyone has any thoughts. My ISP (dial-up) sees me log on ok, but my computer can't find any urls, mail addresses, etc.
This sounds like you forgot to tell your system about the IPaddresses of a primary and secondary name server. Best regards Johnny :o)

Yep, put the info in /etc/resolv.conf search yourisp.net nameserver 198.6.1.221 nameserver 198.6.100.215 -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

I would say your new graphical drivers are to blame. What does your /var/log/XFree86.0.log tell what happens if you run "startx" as root? -- Richard Bos Fresh rpms for SuSE: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/freshrpms.html Without a home the journey is endless

Hi, I had this problem. What I did was login as root on the text screen and then run the command: # init 3 In init 3 run sax2 (# sax2); check that your moniter and graphics card are still set up correctly and if you see two listings of your graphics card delete one of them. I hope this helps, Jerome
