On my suse 11 wireless, i have tp connect via a static ip and proxy. I had set all the relevant information (IP, subnet mask and gateway) in network settings thru yast2, then updated the same in Firefox and Konqueror.Firefox works(!) but none of the kde apps (konqueror, kmail, kopete) are able to connect to the Internet.I am able to ping my router but any other address returns the ‘unknown host’ message

You need to specify your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf.

Could this be related to a problem I am having with a proxy? I am sometimes at a location that uses a proxy. I put the right proxy info into firefox and network manager shows me connected. I can ping the proxy’s ip address but can’t get through the proxy to the internet. It used to show a dialog box for username and password (that got me through to the internet) but the dialog box no longer appears.
Should the nameserver be the same as the proxy ip?
@larry:
I’m using knetwork manager and used it to specify the dns on resolv.conf. Now it works. Thanks!
@Prexy:
Yes, i put the proxy ip in the nameserver to make it work
Prexy,
it is very unlikely. Please start a new thread, with a detailed description of your problem and your setup.

A new problem has come up guys.My wireless proxy now requires authentication.So when i start Firefox,it(my proxy server) prompts for the username and password and it connects on authentication. But Konqueror does not ask for it and consequently shows “cannot connect to…” .Where can i add the login details? The settings->configure konqueror->Proxy does not allow me to add authorization details(the fields are disabled).
There is no setting in network configuration (Yast) either where i can enter the details…
BTW i am assuming the authentication is the reason for failure.Other KDE apps also cannot connect to the Internet now>:(
Try running this from a terminal:
su -c konqueror
and see if you can set the values there. Exit, restart konqueror as a user.
su -c konqueror just does’t seem to do anything after i give the passwd.Had to give it a CTRL-C. Logged in as root and tried, but the authorization option is still disabled.

Thanks but the authorization option is still disabled in konqueror settings…

Same here. Did you check bugzilla?

Hello,
After a hard disk crash and an opensuse11.1 install (KDE4.1), konqueror now magically prompts for the uname/passwd and connects to the web.But other apps (irc/kopete)still don’t work.
Suddenly, my konsole also stops connecting to the net.All the svn and git commands return a “Can’t connect to host <name>: Connection refused”.What could be the problem?
Personally, i think kde4 has some serious problems connecting through a static ip+proxy setup >:(
