    With Gnome you can use Applications-Network Tools

    "Command not found" does not mean "access denied."

    openSuSE ifconfig is executable by normal users:

    Code:
    ls -al /sbin/ifconfig 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 65448 2008-12-03 00:09 /sbin/ifconfig
    Since /sbin isn't in the path of a normal user, specify the location:

    Code:
    /sbin/ifconfig
