Open SuSE wired Internet setup?
Hey guys,
Decided to give Open SuSE a shot on my desktop machine. I have a cable modem connected on this PC. So I tried to start up YaST, and I went to the network tab to try and set-up internet. At first it looks really easy - double click "modem" and SuSE will locate the available devices for you. Except it doesn't. Nothing comes up after the scan, and I have a modem and router connected directly into this pc. The only thing I can think of that could be wrong is far-fetched. I don't have it installed yet, I am running straight off of the Live CD. But if I recall, Ubuntu still lets you set up internet off of their Live CD prior to install, so I doubt this is the issue. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? |

--Is your modem intended for a "dial-up" internet connection? If this is the case you must let us know "what" is your modem. If it is a modem/router to a broadband then it is okay. --So this is what you should do if you really want to find out if you can run suse in live cd: ~~~ see to it your connection is good and the modem is on; then boot from live cd ~~~ on terminal try this: root@host--# /sbin/inetd start [let us know how it responds] root@host--# /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart [let us know how it responds] then launch your browser for a try. If this fails, give us report of these commands: root@host--# ifconfig -a root@host--# dmesg -----------x Hope this helps. Good luck. |
It's a cable modem, actually.
ANother forum told me SuSE does not look for cable modems. |

-OR- Try this in a terminal, as root: Code:
ifconfig # to find the name of your ethernet interface, probably eth0 |
