[TriLUG] network troubles

[J. Bryan Kelly]

I am not sure about Suse8.1, but I seem to recall in Suse that if you 
start KDE there is a menu item (out of many, many (my biggest Suse 
complaint)) that would control the network -- you just stop the dhcp and 
start eth0 and restart.

This was months ago, but at the time I dug into it and it was basically 
a little app that called a python script
that managed the network settings.

Sorry I can't remember more details, but I don't have that particular PC 
any longer.
