SuSe9.2 won't connect to internet
|
|
|
Hello there all: I'm a linux newbie and I've installed suse9.2 but can't
get onto the internet. I'm so new I don't even understand the wizards in
suse. I have a router that's connected to the ethernet card in the computer.
I have found a howto that says I can set this up in a terminal. So I've
taken the information from the command window in xpPro with the command
'ipconfig /all'
Then, as root in suse, I opened an xterm and did the following:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.33 broadcast 192.168.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0
up
# route add default gw 192.168.1.1
# echo "nameserver 80.58.0.33" >/etc/resolv.conf
# echo "nameserver 80.58.32.97" >>/etc/resolv.conf
After doing that, I have no connection to the internet. In a browser I can't
access the router either by typing in »192.168.1.1, though I can do it in
xpPro. I can only ping localhost, not the router either. I 'think' I have
pppE, that's what the router's info says. xpPro says dhcp is enabled. I have
switched the firewall in suse off, still no go. Where am I wrong, please?
thanks in advance

If you are using DHCP, you shouldn't have to do anything.
They do make routers now that can only be accessed with iexplorer.
What does ifstatus eth0 say? |

What's the result of doing
ifconfig
netstat -r -n
ping www.yahoo.com
traceroute www.yahoo.com
Use Yast and set up your card to use dhcp in there. Also set up your
nameservers. Leave the routing to dhcp

Thanks for the help.
ifstatus eth0
eth0 device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 51)
eth0 configuration: eth-id-00::c0:9f:0a:a1:0b
eth0 dhcpcd is still waiting for data
traceroute www.yahoo.com
www.yahoo.com: Temporary failure in name resolution
netstat -r -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window
irtt Iface
I'm a bit confused - I have a dsl account with a Spanish ISP (Telefonica)
and they have given me an id and a password. I never get asked for this.
Maybe that's why it's not connecting?
Thanks for the time - any more ideas, please?

Sorry for the delay. Your router should hold your login and password for
your that you got dsl provider.
You have no default route set and no IP address assigned by DHCP.
Most routers, but not all have an IP on the internal interface at least, of
either 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.1.255
So (this is a guess btw)
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.0
route add default gw 192.168.1.0
Then retry the traceroute etc. Substitute the above IP addresses if that
doesn't work. Sorry I don't know about your provider. It may be that your
router is set up for static IP. I just did a google search and found this
link:

May halp, may not.

Thanks for the link - I have a different router (Xavi 7028), it's
multipuesto and I'm posting from another laptop with a wireless connection
through same router. The laptop with SuSe on is an omnibook xe4100
Still won't connect or ping anything except localhost. I've tried the ip's
you suggested, no go. I can access the router's setup from a browser with
192.168.1.1 so that's what I've been using as default gateway.
So I tried
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
traceroute www.yahoo.com
www.yahoo.com: Temporary failure in name resolution
netstat -r -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS
Window irtt Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0
0 0 eth0

0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG
0 0 0 eth0
Any more ideas? And that was QUICK, don't apologise for being THAT slow.
Thanks for the help

I doubt your router can handle a class B ,so use a class C try this
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.33 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
Alternatively enable dhcp

Thanks - tried that too, still no go. Don't know what class B or C is but
take a look at the link in my last post.
Any other ideas?

You have to give your pc a different ip-number, like 192.168.1.10 |
However, if the laptop is doing fine with wireless, there should be a
dhcp-server running (at least, very likely).
If you go into Yast and there to the networkcard configuration and
select change, you can indicate to use dhcp (which is the default).
If unsure what to do, just delete the networkcard, do a reboot and
select it again in Yast. Linux purists will probably object to the last
suggestion, but it does work to get everything back to square one.
Normally you shouldn't have to use your terminal window to get your
networkcard working.
Succes,
Joost |

I would have thought DHCP was running *but* for the earlier posting where
the car was waiting for DHCP address. WHich is odd. Brian have you checked
whether your router has a setting that maybe disables the utp port on the
router. You said you're on wireless at this time, so it may be the case.
Reset your computer back to accept a DHCP address, check the cable form
your computer to the router, and also look in the configuration of the
router to ensure that the UTP port is enabled and that it advertises DHCP
on the UTP port as well as wireless.
At this time it looks like nothing is comming out of the router on UTP.
Cheers,
Pete |

I agree that it looks like there is nog traffic between router and pc. |
However, I have seldom seen anything like disabling an UTP-port. It's
indeed more likely that the cable is the culprit.
