Hello again! Ok, all, back to my original question! Who knows where SuSEwatcher gets it settings that it keeps going back to dial-up when I have a direct connection with a cable modem. Who knows about susewatcher as I can't seem to find a manual or other documentation around for it? I can change the config file in $HOME, but shutting down susewatcher, restarting kde or just doing a check for updates, reverts it all back to dial-up connection (Offline). Is that just telling me that the dial-up is offline or that it needs to use that for automatic checking? I have never gotten a notice of it checking for updates via the icon or anything else. I always have to manually do the check, so what's up? Thoughts, suggestions, solutions?
