I recently updated via FTP from SuSE 9.0 to 9.1. Everything is working fine now, however, I must reconfigure my network card each login. In 9.0 it remembered it and worked automatically each time I logged in. Not anymore. What did I miss? What do I need to change? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If it's relevant:
I have a Sony Vaio desktop Pentium 4 with an ethernet port on the motherboard. It hooks up to a Motorola Surfboard modem on cable internet, and is configured for "automatic address setup (via DHCP)." SuSE 9.1 with KDE.

I wish I understood your setup a bit better.

I'm not familiar with cable modems, I use an Alcatel Speedtouch USB 'modem' to connect to the Internet and I have an ethernet card for LAN work. My Alcatel does not connect to my ethernet card so these are two separate entities and can be prescribed separate IP addresses.

Therefore my Alcatel interface has my external IP address and my ethernet card has a private LAN 192.168 address.

When you say 'it hooks up' do you mean you connect the ethernet card in your laptop to the cable modem you have or what?

The modem is connected by a cat5 ethernet cable to the ethernet port on my desktop. As far as the computer is concerned, cable internet works like a LAN.

The issue isn't the setup--everything works properly once configured--rather, it does not remember the configuration when I reboot. I have to configure the network card every time turn the machine on. Can you help?

Now what exactly are you configuring that is reseting itself, be specific.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
