Suse 9.2 Internet Connection
 

Hello
I had several previous versions of Suse (8.0,8.1.9.0,9.1). After an out of the box install all I did was open a browser and I was on the internet.

I just installed Suse 9.2 and I cannot get to the internet. I can access everything on my lan but I cannot get out to the inernet. I have a DSL modem connected to a Linksys Router which then connects to my PC. I can ping every machine and the printer. I also tried all the pervious suggestions. None of them seem to work. Any other suggestions?

try dmesg and make sure your modems connected. If it is then request an IP via DCHPCD or something. Can't remember exactly

Suse 9.2 Internet connection
 

Thanks for the reply but I found the problem.

The first step was to point a browser to my Linksys DSL Router (http://192.168.1.1) From there I was able to find the the IP address of the DNS servers. There were 2 of them, a primary and a secondary.
Next I edited the file /etc/resolv.conf by deleting the one line in there and added the following three lines:
domain local
nameserver <IP address primary>
nameserver <IP address secondary>

This worked fine as long as I was using DHCP but when I went to change it to a static IP address (I want to install Oracle 10g on this box so I need an static addtress) it quit working. When I switched back to DHCP the internet worked!

To fix this problem I did the following: YAST -> Network Devices -> Network Card -> Already Configured Devices: select change -> Edit -> Routing -> Default Gateway. Here I entered the IP address of my Linksys DSL/Router 192.168.1.1 (all Linksys DSL/Routers have the same IP address by default and there is really no reason to change it)

Presto! I was up and running with a static IP address!
