Can't get Suse online

eam · 09-17-2004, 02:08 PM

I can't get Suse 9.1 pro online. I have an ethernet card and everything all set up right - I know because it all worked with Red Hat just hours ago - but it's not working. I have no idea what to do. With RH and Knoppix it works automaticly. Any help would be great.

Hard to say :)

Open a console, become root, and copy and paste
the output of

ifconfig
route

Looks all good to me ...

If 192.168.0.1 is a cable-modem, dsl router or
the like everything is fine ... did you, by any
chance, set-up firewalling on the SuSE box?

iptables -L

Another thing that might make you say the
"internet isn't working" even though it's physically
all go is the lack of name resolution:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

It's working now.... not sure what was wrong or it got fixed. Before I couldn't get to google or my website, that's what I judged it on.
