Hi Everyone

How to assign ip address to new installed Open suse VM.

I have created a VMware VM Open Suse machine with .iso image.

now the ifconfig command shows this output.

inet addr : 127.0.0.1 mask: 255.0.0.0

Please suggest me.

Thank You in advance.

The machine you created and HOW you created it, is of absolutely no importance in this context. You don't say what VERSION of openSUSE, but you would configure the network interface on a VM the same as you would on any OTHER system:

• Find out the network device name
• Read the man page on ifconfig, and put the appropriate values in

So, what's the output of "ifconfig -a"? You've very obviously only shown us the loopback device, but not the OTHER devices, such as eth0. Also, you've been working with Linux for SEVEN YEARS now....shouldn't doing a VERY basic network configuration be something you know? Did you try putting "opensuse network configuration" into Google, and reading any of the thousands of how-to's? Like the ones on the openSUSE SITE????
https://www.suse.com/documentation/s...t_manconf.html
https://www.suse.com/documentation/s...cnet_yast.html

this is opensuse 10.2

when i run this command, it says.

##ifup eth0

Interface eth0 not available.

what can the problem ???

Your current problem is you didn't read what TB0ne wrote.

if i am not able to understand any thing .

please tell me. i have search on google and read many articles.

i have tried lots of trouble shooting, still the problem not resolved.

Please help .

thank you for all your help.

All information has some value...

Did you add a virtual network adapter to your VM. If you did then which one did you select? The available choices do depend on version and guest.

Again: you have been here for SEVEN YEARS, and ostensibly working with Linux that long. Have you never, EVER, done any basic network configurations??? As I said in my very first reply, run "ifconfig -a" and look at what interfaces are available. You didn't do that, or ignored what was said.

Secondly, openSUSE 10.2 is OLD...the latest is 13.2, unless you load Tumbleweed. Why are you running something old and unsupported?
Yes..."lots of trouble shooting"....except running the commands you were given, providing the information you were asked for, and doing any basics. As michaelk said...did you add a network adapter? If so, running the "ifconfig -a" statement will tell you what it IS. THEN you run the "ifconfig" on it, or follow the two tutorials you were handed previously.

Again, after seven years, all this should be self-evident.

i ran the ifconfig ,

it gives inet addr as 127.0.0.1

You don't appear to be reading/understanding/paying attention to, what you're being told.

AGAIN:

• You were asked if you had set up the network adapter in the VM. DID YOU??? If not, GO AND DO IT FIRST.
• Run "ifconfig -a"
• POST THESE RESULTS if, after seven years, you cannot determine what the interface names are
• If the interface name is anything OTHER THAN lo, then THAT is what you will configure
• Configure it using the tutorials you were handed before

If you're not going to take advice and answer questions/do things, there is no point in posting a question.

at present i am not in front the machine. i will reply the output of all the commands , which you have asked.

thank you every one. As you people have more expertise on Linux flavors. You can help me.

thanks.

Sorry, but you've been using Linux for SEVEN YEARS. Setting up an interface is basic.

And AGAIN, you are not acknowledging what's being told to you. You were told to load the LATEST openSUSE, rather than the old/unsupported version. You're posting follow-ups with no new information, and have had to be asked MULTIPLE TIMES the same questions. We are happy to help, but YOU need to participate, read, and understand what you're being told.

how i can insert images or print screen to this reply

here is the output of all commands. my requirement is for opensuse 10.2 . i can not install new versions.

Shutdown the VM and look at its network settings. Is there a network adapter? If not you need to add one.

yes just now i have checked

earlier was some EMX1 adapter ,

now i have added E1000 adapter .

now the ifconfig -a gives this but when i try to connect with putty , it says connection refused. please suggest. i think we are on finish point . after this the problem will be resolved.
