Static IP Config in SuSE
Hi...
I am having trouble configuring my SuSE box to have a static IP... it can ping others on the network but cannot get past the firewall... The IP is not filtered, and DHCP doesnt work... Any ideas? |

Which version of SuSE are you running? Can you describe your problem a little more? This sounds like it might be a gateway issue. Post the results of the command "ifconfig" (you have to be root to do it) I have a lot of experience w/ SuSE and IP, Firewall, Gateway issues.

if, say, you have only 1 ethernet card, and it's eth0,
in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 set the lines IPADDR=the ip address you want BOOTPROTO=static STARTMODE=onboot then run SuSEconfig |
Hmm
I found the problem, same thing would happen if the web DNS servers went down... Anyway. I can browse the internet via IP address, and it is because SuSE doesnt want to let me put the DNS search IP's in. How could I do this? |
If you are running a newer version of SuSE then you can go into YAST2 and click on "Network/Basic" and then on "Network Card Configuration" Click on "Change" under "Already configured devices" and then select your network card and click "edit" You will then be able to click on "Host name and Name server" You may have to unclick the option that says "Update name servers and search list via dhcp" to allow you to type in your DNS servers. These instructions are for SuSE 8.1 but any version from 7.3 on shoud be similar.

Nope, I tried that, however I fixed it...
/etc/resolv.conf Added the nameservers and it works fine |
