Hi,

i have just upgraded my isdn internet connection with a DSL one. I have made all the necessary connections with my pc and now i can browse the internet but only in windows.

My dsl router is jetspeed 520i and it has two available interfaces - USB and Ethernet. In windows both of them are working. In linux of course i'm trying to use the ethernet because there are no usb drivers.

When i first installed the router in linux - before making it work in windows - i typed in mozilla the ip address of my router xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Then, i got the interface of the router and the available configurations. I wasn't sure how to install it, so i changed to windows and tried the same thing. I installed it and now it is working. Now when i write the ip of the router in the browser i get
The connection was refused when attempting to contact xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

I have Suse 9.1 Professional and my ethernet controller is on my motherboard MSI Neo-Fisr2. At boot i get a message that eth xxx No interface - failed but even with this message the first time i could run the router configuration.

How can i check my ethernet controller and why is that message in the browser showing all the time?

I used Yast to configure the dsl router and because it was not found by the system i configured it manually. Can i check my dsl router with a program?

Thanks!

Could it be a DHCP or DNS problem? Please post the output from the following commands:

ifconfig -a
route
cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/hosts

It sounds more like your ethernet card isn't being configured by your kernel properly.

Well, i updated my bios and now i don't have this failed in the ethernet section. Instead of this i have the correct type of my controller. I changed a little the settings of the network cards to configure it and now i don't get the previous message in my browser. Now, when i type the ip of my router in the address of my browser, after a while i get
The operation timed out when attempting to contact xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

I ran the commands you told me and the result is

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks for your replies!

I am using the same modem and the following steps work for me:
1. ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
2. open "http://192.168.1.1/hag/pages/home.ssi" in the browser (for some reason web interface comes really faster this way).

By the way 192.168.1.1 comes very very slow when using Mozilla on windows and linux. And Explorer doesn't have this problem. So this is probably problem with Mozilla (and by the way Konqueror, links and possibly many more).

Thanks,

i did a clean install because i had some more problems and now it is ok.

If it becomes an issue again i'll try your commands!
