After logging in an account kinternet automatically connects to the network, but if the user logs out the computer becomes disconnected. I would like the system to stay connected after the user logs out from his session.
How can I achieve it?

Get rid of kinternet and use kcm_knemo to 'monitor' the network connection. (if
it isn't installed, you can get kde3-knemo in the kde3 repository) To check:

ls -al /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/kcm_knemo.desktop

kill kinternet (rt-click/exit)

start knemo (either use the menu entry (I don't recall where it hides), or just
'alt+F2 kcmshell kcm_knemo') Then just configure it the way you like. (I hate
the default graph colors...)

Since you are using traditional ifup, the network connection should be
established 'on boot' and stay established regardless of the desktop state. Make
sure you have the connection set to 'on boot' in Yast. (first tab)

Yast should restart the interface after changes, but if not, just issue an
'rcnetwork restart'

Hello David,

Thank you for your help.
I tried knemo and it works OK, but I would like to be able to turn off and on the network manually. It seems that with knemo I cannot do it. Or can it be configured like that?

Thanks,
Istvan
