[opensuse] how to test/read network settings?
Hello: What are the settings on openSUSE 11.1 that affect network behavior, and how can I test/check them? Eg. how can I find the differences between network settings when they were set up by ifup or networkmanager?

/etc/sysconfig/network/config is the main configuration file.

A very global question. a) use the ip command to show the current config aa) routing: ip route show bb) address: ip address show b) use traceroute or mtr to check if the routing works as expected. c) does DNS work? Check /etc/resolv.conf

SUSE offers two ways to configure an network interface. a) netconfig See man netconfig or /usr/share/doc/packages/sysconfig/README.netconfig b) networkmanager See /etc/sysconfig/network/config:NETWORKMANAGER You might edit /etc/sysconfig/network/config with your editor or use the YaST sysconfig module. IIRC also the YaST network module offers a way to switch between both methods. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
