Internet Detection
 

how do i detect my internet status etc. in Suse

i have recently added a new user which is unable to connect to the internet......
is it cuz all the settings the ip address, the DNS server etc r deleted???

like we do ipconfig in windows....

what that in Suse?

what kind of connection U have.

Im am not an expert in SuSE (I use Slack), but if
/sbin/ifconfig
gives you a result like
