I am running SuSE 7.3 on a Toshiba Satelite. I am having trouble getting my cable connection to work. I know it's possible because it worked before I reinstalled th os. I've searched all the threads and can't find anything that helps. My service provider is AT&T.
I don't have a static IP adress, the company says everything is done by DHCP. The computer recognizes my card on startup (I get the two beeps).
When I try and run mozilla, i get the message: Cannot find "www.suse.de" please check and try again.
In the /var/log/message file these two lines appear:
+starting service dhcpclient on eth0...failed
eth0:no Ipv6 routers present
I am running through a netgear router.
I'm a newbie and I don't know too much programming stuff so if somebody could walk me through this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the help.
The system knows the card is there. However there is no "sysconfig" (or anything like it) under the etc directory. I ran a search for ifcg-eth0 and the computer could not find it. Is there any other place that this file can be found?
