network manager and 3g internet

English Network/Internet
#1

Alright,

I have an internet connection which is shared to all the pc’s in the network which works nicely. Its a 3g network connection. When I connect using network manager (gnome) it always works nicely.

Problem is, sometimes the computer with the connection is unable to access the internet and needs to have its lan connection deleted and recreated to be able to access the internet. Anyone know what I can do about this?

Hi,
I am not sure if this will help you but there is an idle time-out
pre-set for 10 Min by default in /etc/ppp/options

Specifies that pppd should disconnect if the link is idle for n seconds.

idle 600

and if you edit the idle setting to say <idle 3600>, it may stop your
drop-outs if inactivity is the cause.

BTW, which version openSUSE are you using?

Cheers
