Hello,
yesterday, I've installed a new Suse 10.3 distro on a second computer.
(1st time with Suse)
This computer is connected directly to another Linux computer (gateway) for
the internet. Everything worked like a charm, but today, I've made an auto
update of the system (lots of new security packs). And after rebooting, I
lost (partially) the internet connection through eth0

eth have a static IP, IP is routed to the 1st computer. (I've made no
change, except the system update)
I can ping the other computer, I can ping/trace an external site
(http://www.clubic.com for ex), but firefox/konqueror can't ?!
I'm not sure of a DNS problem, beacause I can acces sites like google.com
and opensuse.org ?
What a strange situation: some sites are reached, other not ? Do you have
an idea of what happened?
TIA !

I found 'strange' lines in the resolv.conf files (concerning ipv6
protocol); but as it was disabled during the installation, I just
delete the network config and rebuilt it (without ipv6) ! Everything works
better now !!!
It seems updating the system, ipv6 has been reactivated, causing troubles
....? Very strange !
But I'm wondering... Is ipv6 useful ?

Right now, not really. In a few* years you'll probably need it though
as there will be IP addresses that you cannot access with IPv4.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6

*few years meaning anything between 2 and 20 :P

Thats interesting ! I wonder if that has anything to do with Kmail not
sending mail ?
