Mark, The CTC connects but after yast has given up on finding the source. Is there a way to delay the source/nosource decision?

Try adding this: Gateway=199.42.190.45 Nameserver=199.42.190.45 Netmask=255.255.255.255 You might need to combine a couple of your shorter lines so you don't run over the length limit. > About cookbooks you asked in the other question thread.
