Replacing Your ADSL Configuration
Support knowledgebase (pohletz_deldslmanual81)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions since 8.0
Situation:
You want to replace your ADSL configuration with a new one.
Procedure:
- Start your SuSE Linux system and login as a normal user.
- Open a terminal emulation like, for example, konsole in KDE
(icon of monitor with a shell).
- Enter the command "su -".
- Enter the root password when prompted to do so. Note that no output (asterisks
or similar) is displayed on the screen while you enter the password.
- Execute the command "rm /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-dsl*".
- Once that the device configuration is deleted, use the following command
to delete your provider's configuration:
"rm /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/*"
- Proceed to configure anew your Internet connection by way of YaST.
Remark:
If you have configured additional connections via ISDN and/or analog modem, too, the step
number 6 would also delete their provider configuration. To avoid this, delete separately each
provider file(s) in the directory "/etc/sysconfig/network/providers".
