Hi all,
I recently upgraded my laptop from 13.1 to 13.2 (both with gnome) and everything is almost fine. Yet I have a strange behaviour with the proxy configuration : it seems to be working with wireless connection but not with a wired one.
To give more details, wether I am on wired or wireless connection, everything is OK, when I work from home with no proxy. At my office, I can connect to computers that do not need a proxy connection (inside my university) through ssh or whatever. Now when it comes to connections needing a proxy, the connection works with the wireless connection but not with the wired one. Actually, I tried the following:
- wireless alone : no problem
- wired and leaving the wireless do whatever it wants : no connection with proxy
- wired and wireless physically (through the physical switch) turned off : no connection with proxy
and the problem occurs with yast and firefox (for what I have tried)
Finally, I usually configure the proxy in three different places (I don’t know if this is ok):
- in yast/proxy
- in gnome/settings/netwrok/network proxy (needed if I want to install extensions for gnome, the yast/proxy configuration seems not to be considered by gnome)
- in firefox for web browsing
So, here’s the situation that puzzles me (yet, it can be worked arround with the wireless connection, but it is not satisfactory), any idea is welcomed.
Thanks,
Pierre.
