Neighbor has no password. In fact, the neighbor has many open ports and at least two WinNT boxes on the network. (Sorry couldn't resist.)
Shame on him! X-)
I don't know. Maybe restarting the network service :-?
Thanks. How does one do this?
Also, how do I tell what's going on? Is there a log somewhere? Doing tail /var/log/messages doesn't give me much.
I don't have much experience with wi-fi, but... there are two method in linux to connect to a network. One I name the "classic". It means configuring YaST and using the service rcnetwork to start it all. It is mature and known. It is not simple when you change networks. The other, new method, is via the networkmanager in the desktop. My feeling is that is still "flaky". You could try changing method, to the "classic". (the network script can enable a setting called "scripts/extradebug" and "DEBUG". Could be useful.) nimrodel:~ # rcnetwork Usage: /sbin/rcnetwork <action> [<config>] [<interface>] [-o <options>] actions: start|stop|status|reload|force-reload|try-restart restart|stop-all-dhcp-clients|restart-all-dhcp-clients options: [on]boot,hotplug,manual,check,debug,fake,nm,netcontrol type=<typelist>,skip=<skiplist> typelist: space seperated list of interface types skiplist: space seperated list of interfaces to skip for 'start' Looking at the script, I think it can be used to handle networkmanager, too. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
