Yep, sorry that was me fiddling around a bit. Everything is on the same
mask and the router is at 192.168.7.1.

There is a wireless card built in as well. I checked in the YaST
Hardware information and the modules are currently active. In the
network set-up the wireless card is listed in detected interfaces but
has nothing set up for it (i.e. isn't in the list below with the wired
interface).

I shall now embark on some research to figure out to stop the wireless card.

Thank you for your continued help,

Russell
