I followed the web page instructions to the letter, I did what I was told to do.. and well.. the IP#'s would not work afterwards, and nothing would work, the entire networking of the laptop was shut down :-)...

I know there has to be something simple,. and its got me right in front of me, i just can not find it.

come on guys, don't give up on me yet, there is a setting some where.

Clarification:
The suse system is not the only system on the network.
We have 2 Vista64 Laptops, 1 Vista64 PC, 1 XP VPN, 2 FreeNAS Servers, and this little M115 Laptop running Suse :-). one the 2nd load of Suse, it worked wonderful, i was watching a you tube one night (on Suse configuration), the system locked up and it hasn't worked since, many reloads, many Rpo's and much hair pulling.
I took the system today to a WiFi Hotspot and found no deference.
There has to be a setting in the /etc or someplace in the file system.. we are just missing it.

Thank yall :-)

Hi donmaxwelliii

Just to get a handle on your current situation, here are some commands which might yield useful info.

/sbin/ifconfig

(Will let us see the status and IP assignment of your network interfaces)

/sbin/route

(Routing info including internet gateway)

cat /etc/resolv.conf |grep nameserver

(Name serrvers will be listed if assigned properly)

Now, you mentioned

Do you control your wireless interface via networkmanager? Maybe trying deleting the connection, and make a new connection again.

ok! I am losing it.
I have saved the command lines to use if it freaks out again.
IT would seem something we did yesterday has worked. I shot down last night and went to bed, got up with fresh coffee and a **working** Linux box, I have NO idea what we did that worked.. or if it will stay fixed, but think you all for your help.

Love the Suse team.

Amazing what a good nights sleep and a hot cup of Java can do
