SuSE 9.0 Personal internet connection problem

[Dale McGarry]

I think I found something, but I don't know what it means. While I was in
YaST, I tried to edit the nic card which is recognized as D-Link dfe-530TX+
10/100 Ethernet Adapter Configured as eth0 with DHCP. A Window opens with
this in it: the resolver configuration file(/etc/resolv.conf) has been
temporary modified by dhcpcd. You have 2 options: 1 Modify and 2 Accept. If
you select modify, you will see 3 different IP addresses from Cox Cable. Any
thoughts?

Thanks,

Dale McGarry

You need to run the YAST2 Network Configuration Control panel.  There's an
option there to have it detect your network interfaces and auto-configure
them.  You need to run that first, then, if needed, tweak the settings to
match what you actually have.

This is a common problem with YAST, in that it can, essentially, delete
configurations that are in the middle of being updated when a failure
occurs.
