Actually I Just went to KWalllet > Settings > Configure Wallet
and under the Wallet Preferences tab unchecked the option "Enable
Wallet subsystem"
also under the Access control tab unchecked the option "Prompt when an
application accesses ..."

Now on checking I am no longer prompted to enter a password when I
switch networks on NetworkManager or Kopete

Hope it stays that way, and that does not crop up again

But am still wondering, if I purge kwallet, will it affect anything
else from my sys?
Hhmmmm ...

I guess the best way to find out is do it right???

That probably means that NM and Kopete now store the password
somewhere unencrypted...

O I C, what ever the case was, I have purged kwalletmanager from my sys now ...
I never needed anyways.

Presuming that you have a router and it covers the class C
network 192.168.xx.xx
Presuming you are using KNetworkManager

Do these
1. write your own /etc/hosts - see one of my hosts files at the end.
you have to know beforehand what your computers network name
and IP is,
what your router/gateway's IP is, what your Netmask is and what
your namesever IP address is.
2. do at least one of the following:
a) turn off DHCP in your router
b) pick static IP addresses outside the routers DHCP declared
range
c) change your routers DHCP range
d) tell the router's DHCP to always use the same IP address
I can do all of these on my router, but any one should be sufficient.
(b) is probably the more correct way, different routers differ in
their setups.

3. Run KNetworkManager, either from the system tray or applications>system,
Navigate to Manage Connections, pick what you want
wired/wireless/whatever
click 'add', fill whatever boxes depending on what type of
connection you
selected and then click 'IP address', select 'manual' from the
'method' drop
down menu and fill in all the numbers. You probably want to tick
'connect auto-
matically' also, and finish.

And that should be it! he said hopefully.
I only use static addresses on my local network and I look at my
/etc/hosts fairly
often to make sure my machines haven't tried to second-guess me, I
keep a copy
of the /etc/hosts I want so I can overwrite what the OS thinks I
want back to what
I want.
Below is a copy of my /etc/hosts, note I've hashed out the loop-back
127.0.0.1 stuff
and also note you want the localhost alias for whichever machine the
/etc/hosts is
on. All my machines (except the printer) have the some hosts file
except for shifting
the localhost alias, and the IPV6 stuff.
Hope this makes sense

Apologies for my previous reply, I was cribbing from an old instruction
to myself about a somewhat ancient French router given to me.
On the BT Hub I've got now there are only 2 ways to stop DHCP
interfering with you. One is to disable router DHCP, the other is to tell
the router to always use the same IP addresses that you have set
into the router manually: and these, of course, must match your
entries in /etc/hosts.
When I originally set up static addresses I had to reboot my machines
a few times and re-write my /etc/hosts on my machines before the
networking settled down. For the last 2-3 years I've had no hiccups
whatsoever, regardless of what network management gui I've used.
sorry for the mis-info, I've probably forgotten some other things as
well, my memory is really shot these days.
