Stu On Gnome, you have the ability to control the networks via a program called Network Manager. However, under SuSE (and KDE) I am unsure of what's required. I've never like YAST as it tends to break things (even when you do not make changes to things). But using the Network Manager application allows you to manage multiple nics with multiple networks - quite similar to Windows. I'll see if I can find an equivalent for KDE shortly.

Sorry, should have explained better. The work domain is protected by a smoothwall and we use the built in web proxy (squid) to restrict certain machines from accessing the Internet. Therefore only certain specified IP addresses in the range are allowed outbound access. All machines are on static IP addresses. We also run a DNS server on an internal address. At home I do use DHCP but it doesn't seem to update the default gateway nor the DNS addresses. Which I currently have to do manually every time I change location. Like I say, not a huge problem, just a bit of an irritant. I was just curious if the system could be set up to respond to the two different network setting, either within Suse, or using a third party application.
