I've just moved to suse 8.2 on my second computer!
I've got a dsl router installed and therefore i want to access the internet in suse!
But I dont know how to configure linux so that it connects through the router!
The network card is already installed and in my browser i can access the router (192.168.0.1) and see my other computer, but i cannot enter the web.
I know it shouldn't be much work, but the problem is I dont have the smallest idea where to configurate it.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advanced

PS: its a netgear rp614v2 router.

Welcome to LQ.

Try:
ping www.linuxquestions.org
ping 64.179.4.146

If you can ping IPs and not addresses make sure that you have the correct DNS servers in:
/etc/resolv.conf

If IPs don't work. make sure that you have got a deault route pointing to the router:
route -n

Open up Yast and go into Network. You need to put your gateway ip address etc. in there.

i cannot ping ips nor addresses

/etc/resolv.conf
it says:

nameserver 192.168.0.1
search local


and thats it!

route -n
it says:

destination gateway genmask flags metric ref use iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 u 0 0 0 eth1


what do i have to do and what is a default route pointing?

Like carlywarly said - check your network settings. Make sure that you have the default gateway set to the router address.

Thanks,
I finally made it! The problem was, i have two network cards and the computer was only trying the first one. So I plugged the network cable to the other one and it started functioning! But does anybody know how to switch the cards in linux?

You don't need to switch the cards - just set the other one up for your connection and disable the first.

I think i have a similar problem to what fernandoo has.
I am using a netgear DG834 router and connecting to it is RH9 and XP. With XP I can view web sites just fine. With RH9 i am having a little trouble.
I can ping the router (192.168.0.1)
I can ping the XP box (192.168.0.2)
I can bring up the router config html pages in netscape on 192.168.0.1
I cannot view http://www.linuxquestions.org/
but i can ping 64.179.4.146
I get :-

Hoever my /etc/resolv.conf file is empty. I am presuming from the above posts there should be some info in this but i have no idea as to the format of it. Can anyone help out.

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers.

You need to add entries like:
nameserver ip.of.dns.server

so it may be:
nameserver 233.15.162.26
nameserver 233.15.162.27

In future please start a new thread for a new question. Thanks!
