SuSe Ethernet Networking Problems


Alright, first off, I am semi-noob to Linux. I have already installed Mandrake and gotten this network card to work, but I wanted to try some other distros (I also didn't really like Mandrake).

Ok. I have a Davicom 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet card installed. YaST recognizes it and everything. Great. When I go to configure it, I put in all the information taht I think is correct and finish up. Excellent. Now I fire up Firefox and WHAMMO!, "page cannot be found"

I then moved on to try the Konqueror browser and got nothing. I have tried multiple other configs in YaST but non seem to work.



HELP!

Hi,

And welcome to LQ!

What output do you get from ifconfig and route in the
command-line as root? Also, how is the network set-up,
do you use static IPs or DHCP?


Cheers,
Tink

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:AD:78:69:8D

It obviously didn't obtain a lease... which DHCP client is SuSE
using?

ps -A | egrep -v "(dhc|pump)"

should catch the three more popular ones.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in SuSE, since the solution is quite likely to be distro-specific, and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

Code:
ps -A | egrep -v "(dhc|pump)"
Just copy and paste that ENTIRE LINE into a terminal.

I still suggest you copy & paste what I gave you. The
output that you posted doesn't match the results my
command could have at all.


Cheers,
Tink

after copy and pasting the exact code that you gave me into the linux console, I got this as my output:
http://www.geocities.com/operationboredomcss/dhcp.txt

I used a friends website to upload the .txt file cause when i put it on the forum, the spacing gets messed up

thanks

Haha, its fine. I was beginning to think that I was having some serious konsole problems. Anyways.....


when I type "ps -A | egrep "(dhc|pump)", the output is:

Code:
4709  ?      00:00:00  DHCPCD
and I guess that means that I am using DHCPCD. But you're the expert and I'm the n00b, so what do I know?
