Suse and internet problem
 

Hi,
I setup suse 9.1 to my computer and i have dsl internet connection(i use ethernet card and modem is not usb) but i cant connect to the internet.I am looking for a solution by step by step.
Thank You...

Have you tried to configure the Network card through YaST?

yes my network card is properly configured but i think i cant configure my dsl connection and i dont know dsl connection details if i learn that may be i connect it.

Run these commands and post results here; How are you connected to your DSL modem, directly or through a router?

Dear Harryc ,
When i write your command i get these result..

# ifconfig

Run this a superuser

root password

Also do this one;

If you go into YaST network services options and click on routing, what is chosen for your default gateway? (It should be the same as your DSL provider)

hehe, this problem, oh man. Do me a favor and do this for me
1. Open your console
2. # pico /etc/resolv.conf
3. Scroll down to where it says the nameservers.
4. See if one of the nameservers is your modem IP, and if so, change that to your computer IP.
5. Exit, which I believe is ctrl+x, and then when it prompts to save say yes, and it when it prompts to overwrite, hit enter for yes.
6. Try your connection now.

Now if this works don't smile just yet lol, because when you restart it will reset and you do have to do this process again, BUT, you can configure your network card to not reset the DHCP. This is done in yast. If you cannot figure out how to configure the card please post again. I am not in front of my linux box right now or I would post a step by step for that, but you should be able to figure it out. I will check back soon, PLEASE update with progress!!!! Good luck.

Oh yes VERY IMPORTANT, make sure that your su in the console before you do ANY of this:
#su
#"root password"

Dear onelung02 ,
i wite tis command # pico /etc/resolv.conf but there is nothing in tih file only write at the bottom exit read etc.If you write step by step i will be very happy because i cant not connect and whe i encounter a problem i open windows xp for internet

And Dear Harryc

i am su and i write # cat /etc/resolv.conf but there is same error no such file or directory and i ping this address 64.179.4.149 say network unreachable..

Ok, you didn't mention if you had a router iin your network. This is important so that we get your gateway right. Also, you need to find out the IP addresses of your ISP's DNS servers(check their website FAQ or help section). Post back with that information and I think we can get you going.

Harryc yes a have a router and know dns ip addressess

Sorry for the delay, was fighting a battle with Gnome 2.8 for a day or so ;).

• Start up YAST
• Select Network Devices
• Select Network Card
• Select your available network card
• Select Configure
• Select, Static Address, enter 192.168.1.3
• Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
• Select 'Host Name and Name Server'
• Name Server1 = DNS IP address #1 from your ISP
• Name Server1 = DNS IP address #2 from your ISP if applicable
• Uncheck the box for 'Update Name Server and Search List via DHCP
• OK to save
• Click on 'Routing' on the previous screen'
• Default Gateway = 192.168.1.0 (per netstat -rn, that should be the IP address for your router.

Check your routers configuration to make sure that it's IP address is set to 192.168.1.0, and that DHCP is disabled. Also make sure that your cable or DSL modems IP address is set in the router host configuration. This is all assuming that you want to set up a static(non changing) IP address network. DHCP is alot easier to use BTW. :).

dear harryc , i solve my problem and i connect to the net thank you so much... if i have any problem i can ask you again....;)

Sure, anytime. Have fun with 'online SuSE'. :).

thanks harryc
