I have 9.3 Pro intalled. The computer has an MSI K8N MOBO with Dual 1GB Ethn ports. It recognizes them ok but I can't seem to get on the internet. My home network hase a Linksys router with DHCP turned off. I assigned 192.168.1.106 ans 192.168.1.107 to the nics ,and the gateway was 192.168.1.1 .
When I'm in the network configuration menu, I selected "Detailed Settings"
This brought up a screen where there is room to put a name in for the "Host Name" and the "Domain Name". Does there have to be anything in these spaces? I'm a little confused at this part. I'm not using this as a server yet. On the same screen there are 2 colums. "Name Server" & "Domain Search List" There is room for 3 "Name servers" and 3 "Domain Search"
For Name server 1 I put 192.168.1.1
Hostname Susebox
Domain Name Localhost.localdomain localhost
I entered my router's IP address (which is is the same as the gateway address) into "Name Server 1" I did not do anyting else. It doesn't seem to work with this config. Am I missing something?
When I go to edit the cards in the Suseplugger (Device Manager), I select either card and it saya the status "available" yes, "configured" no... Why is this?
I also tried turning off the firewall(no protection mode) not DMZ
When I edit my resolv.cong file there all that is there is:
Localhost.localdomain localhost
DNS 192.168.1.1
Here is a link to someone with the same problem. don't know if this will help anyone:
Any ideas. This box worked perfectly yesterday with XP on it. Both Ports and Both Cables......
