Hello,

I try to install Linux SuSE 8.2 Professionnal on my brand new machine. My configuration is: P4 2.4 fsb 800, Asus P4P800 Deluxe, 1Go DDR twinmos, 120Go Western-digitall special edition, Powercolor-ati radeon 9100.

i haven't any problem to install Linux and to use all the integrated chips, except with the integrated 3com gigabit Lan module (3C940)

I don't really understand where is the problem.

I have compiled the last version of the linux driver from asus site, and installed it. After having parameterized the network interface (Ip, netmask, gateway, DNS, ..) all seems to work fine ... but there is a problem.

when i request a web page, some of them can't be reached (like google). All navigators give a same result (konqueror, mozilla, netscape, ...)

I don't understand where is the problem

If someone could help

Thanks for your answers

Make sure your eth device is added into the /etc/modules

try your basic ping

ping yahoo.com


for some reason they dont block pings, so its a nice valid test.

if you get desintation errors.. your network configuration is wrong.

when i ping yahoo.com i have:

forcair:~ # ping yahoo.com
PING yahoo.com (66.218.71.198) 56(84) bytes of data.

I have compiled the last version of the driver (044 from asus) on 2.4.20-64GB-SMP kernel. Compilation was successful, but nothing change.

A strange thing is that i can ping google.com:

forcair:~ # ping google.com

but i can't reach it with a browser or with wget.

Thanks for all help

Any updates on this?

I have a similar problem with a 3com device 3c95x.

However...if you take the IP addresses from those pings...you can get to the sites. It's like the DNS is out. Now...after I view my NIC in YaST...it loads and DNS works!?

WTF?! lol

I'd appreciate some insight if you've found a fix.
