No internet access after installing SuSE 11.2
I'm new to SuSE. I have a Toshiba M400 tablet laptop.
I installed SuSE 11.2 and have connection to the internet via internal wireless connection to modem zoomtown. I click on mozilla or konquorer but get a blank webpage. I've tried everything I can think of but have not been successful. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or missed doing? Please help. I am taking online classes and really need to get online for them. Thanks |
As root open a terminal an type
Code:
/usr/sbin/networkmanager <enter> Btw. don't connect as root. After configuring go back to be a normal user and then click on the symbol to connect. |

I clicked on the NetworkManager.exe and got a message 0 I did the regular install of SuSE 11.2 shouldn't everything have installed okay and automatically? I still can't get the browser to bring up a webpage.... it's still blank. |
????? NetworkManager.exe ????
how the heck did you get a MICROSOFT WINDOWS program ( .exe) in SUSE ?????? open the control panel ( computer) bottom left if you are using Gnome KDE ? it is in the tools .I would have to log out and back in again in kde to look on a working os you might want to look around the official OpenSUSE forum http://forums.opensuse.org/ and the beginners guide http://opensuse-guide.org/ and for yast-- the network tools are in there http://opensuse-guide.org/yast.php wireless http://opensuse-guide.org/wlan.php |
Ohoh. YAST can't configure networmanager (yet?). You even have to disable "ifup" in the appropriate YAST-menu to get networkmanager running -- sorry, I forgot to mention that in my first post.
Don't click on it. Run the command from a console, you'll get more information (error messages) there. Then run (again from console) Code:
ps ax | grep etw |
networking
I couldn't get online with the built in wireless, but when I connected with a wired ethernet it went online smooth as silk. I even got the repositories I couldn't get before and Yast now works, but only when using a wired connection.
Problem: I really need the wireless option to work. I have a Toshiba M400 and now I'm looking for drivers to see if that's the problem. |
Locate (K)NetworkManager on your system. Be careful, it uses in some cases upper and lower cases mixed in its name (like I showed). Start it as root from a terminal. Enter data as appropriate for your wireless network. Go back to normal user and wait a few seconds for the symbol to appear.
If it is a winmodem search for "winmodem" on LQ there are loads of threads on these. My answer really assumed an USB-stick HSPA modem, sorry. |
