So you had a network connection, and now you don't. I have seen this problem before under SuSE 9.0. Maybe it's a bug. Go into Yast2 and play around with the network device configuration. Make sure that your default gateway address (the address of your router) is in there. After some playing around you should be able to get it to work again. > Suse 9.0...have found some documentation but not sure of some of the finer > points. In SuSE you can use Yast Online Update (YOU) to keep your system up to date. This tool is fairly simple to use. You can also install apt4rpm which will get rid of many of the dependancy problems that people have. Check out http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/home.html for downloads, instructions, and sources that will let you install a wide range of software onto your system. Also check your SuSE's download page for updates to Gnome, KDE, X, etc. http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/index.html Some things like KDE can be tricky to upgrade this way, but you can also use YOU or apt to upgrade. There are also instructions on the ftp server for upgrading Gnome and KDE. In most cases, if you want to upgrade rpm's you will use a command like this: # rpm -Uvh *rpm > Tried logging in as cameron from GUI login and got the error. Not sure if > /home is mounted or not. I would assume it was but.... Try logging in as root via the console (hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 when your in X). Then you can use the commands: # mount to see which filesystems are mounted # cat /etc/fstab to see how your fstab file is setup # ls -l /home This will let you make sure that there is a /home/cameron directory and that it has the proper permissions. To change the owner/permissions on the directory you would do something like this: # chown -R cameron /home/cameron # chmod -R u+rwx /home/cameron > Also wondering hwo good the connection is with outlook express files and > evolution.

While you can import Outlook data, I don't think you can share the same data source unless you setup a server. See Aaron's future presentation on Kolab for more info. ;-).
