Hi, I've just switched over to SuSE 10.0, and have been trying to set internet up, using NDisWrapper. I have a wireless network card, a WMP54G, and I have been using a tutorial, at the NDisWrapper wiki installation, for SuSE 9.2 Although it was written for SuSE 9.2, I have been able to use it to figure out what to do.
The entire process went smooth enough, until I got to the end. It said:
Code:
* Now that you are a superuser, you are going to use a cool utility called Midnight Commander to edit the
wlan0 configuration file. I found it by reading that big manual that comes with Suse. It is a throwback to
the days of edit in DOS, but I like it!
* To start Midnight Commander, type "mc" at the command line. It is a blue file explorer-like utility.
* You can user your mouse to double-click to the directory /etc/sysconfig/network This is where your
network configuration files are at. To do that, first double click on /etc, then scroll down and double-
click on /sysconfig and finally /network
* Select the file called (something like) ifcg-wlan-wlan0 (it might be named differently but the important
thing is that it has the wlan0 part!
* Once selected, click on edit in the menu at the bottom of the screen.
* Scroll through the file and you will notice that the settings match up to what you were viewing in the
good old /etc/sysconfig Editor in Yast.
* Now add the following two lines to the top of the file:
DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLVE_CONF='yes'
DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE='yes'
* Note the use of single quotes above around yes. Also note that these new settings will be viewable in the
/etc/sysconfig Editor in Yast! Not that you will want to change them...
* Click on the Save item on the menu item to exit the editor. Now go back to the /etc folder.. To do that,
double-click on the symbol /.. at the top left of midnight commander. This is basically saying, go up one
level in the directory tree.
* Once in /etc, scroll down to the file resolve.conf and open it for editing.
* Place the following two lines at the top of the file (it is probably empty right now)
Search <you ISP DNS IP>
nameserver 192.168.0.1
Where <your ISP DNS IP> is your Internet Service Provider's Domain Name Server IP addresses and
192.168.0.1 is the ACTUAL IP address of your router. Most routers are set up to default to this
or 192.168.1.1. Check your router and use the proper default IP address!
* Click on save and then exit out of midnight commander. Close the terminal. You are done!
The last part,
Code:
* Place the following two lines at the top of the file (it is probably empty right now)
Search <you ISP DNS IP>
nameserver 192.168.0.1
Where <your ISP DNS IP> is your Internet Service Provider's Domain Name Server IP addresses and
192.168.0.1 is the ACTUAL IP address of your router. Most routers are set up to default to this
or 192.168.1.1. Check your router and use the proper default IP address!
is where I ran into trouble. I don't know my ISP DNS IP. How can I find this?
Thank you,
Brad
