suse 11.1 now doesn’t use yast anymore to change networksettings. But I
need to setup a static dhcp server and static IP adress for my pc. How
do I do that? Yast tells me to use networkmanager which is the applet in
the panel I assume. But this applet has no options to change anything
like DHCP or IP address?
I’m confused.

Hi
On the ‘Global’ tab in YaST network devices, change to traditional
ifup method.

Thanks for the reply. But will I still be able to use the networkmanager
applet in the panel if I change to ifup? I like this applet to change to
vpn connection. And how does it work without ifup, since yast is telling
something about to setup through networkmanager?

NetworkManager doesn’t work for me at all. I’m looking forward to
seeing a solution in this thread.

I got it working by first switching to traditional ifup in yast. Then I
could set my static ip address. Saved and closed yast. Internet works
fine but now I lost networkmanager applet, and I need this for vpn. So
back to yast, selected networkmanager again and saved. My static ip
remains and I’ve got the manager icon back:). And Now I can even edit my
connection through that applet icon! Strange it works now suddenly, but
glad it works now
