SuSE Linux: Versions since 8.0

Situation:

You want to replace your ADSL configuration with a new one.

Procedure:

  1. Start your SuSE Linux system and login as a normal user.
  2. Open a terminal emulation like, for example, konsole in KDE (icon of monitor with a shell).
  3. Enter the command "su -".
  4. 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.
  5. Execute the command "rm /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-dsl*".
  6. Once that the device configuration is deleted, use the following command to delete your provider's configuration:
    "rm /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/*"
  7. 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".
