HELP!

can you ping other hosts on your lan?
can you dig an internet address?
show us your ifconfig here.
whats the ip of the gateway?

I cant ping another host on my lan and i cant get an ifconfig
when i rerun YaST it tells me that the conection is fine

can you ping the same computer
ping 127.0.0.1
I dont think you will be able to. not sure, but I think your nic isnt detected here.

yes i can ping it but i just get 64 byets of data sent 64 receved over and over
of corse ive shortend that lots and lots its something like 64=sent&() 127.0.0.1 () 64 receved

you need to run the
ifconfig
command.
it should give you output.
try
/sbin/ifconfig

if config gives me no ansers it just tells me what i allredy know
what am i looking for

humph!...and I thought ifconfig wasnt working...
true you know that, but I need to know how you have setup your network inorder to help you. so if you had pasted it here, it would have been alot easier
anyway,
open your Yast control center
click on network devices, and set your ip, dns server and gateway there.
restart your network services
/etc/init.d/network restart

thank u sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much it is going again soory 4 being such a noob

hello?????

Can you ping google.com?
If not go to one of the windows boxes and ping google.com
Go back to *nix box and ping the IP that you resolved on the windows box..
Does it resolve?

im on it plz dont go away

on windows box fine but cant pin using *nix "network is unreachable"

Even using the IP address? Or did you still just try the host name?

And how do you lock down your router? Are you sure you don't lock down via MAC address, and you forgot to allow your NIC to get through?
