I installed SuSE 10.0 on two PCs at my house. Initially, both could browse the web; both used DHCP from my LinkSys router. For now, the network is: - two PCs (SuSE 10) on the LAN side of - LinkSysWRT54G domestic broadband router - an ADSL modem, on the WAN side of the router, connected to my ISP I used YaST on both machines to give them static addresses. One machine (this one I'm typing from) connects successfully to internet. The other machine does _not_. They can each ping the other. They can each reach the config page of the LinkSys router. I have tried leaving the DHCP server on, and also tried switching it off at the LinkSys. No change. From YaST, the following are the particulars of the two machines, first the non-connecting PC: YaST > Network Services > DNS & Hostname Hostname Domain Name thatbox ourhouse Name Servers & Domain Search List Name Server1 Domain Search1 206.191.0.140 magma.ca <--- (also tried "ourhouse") Name Server2 206-191.0.210 YaST > Hostnames Current Hosts IP Address Hostname Host aliases 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.80 thatbox.ourhouse thatbox ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback etc...... YaST > Network Devices > Network Card Name IP Address IBM EtherExpress PRO/100 VE 192.168.1.80 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 And now, for the machine that _does_ connect successfully: YaST > Network Services > DNS & Hostname Hostname Domain Name thisbox ourhouse Name Servers & Domain Search List Name Server1 Domain Search1 206.191.0.140 ourhouse Name Server2 206-191.0.210 YaST > Hostnames Current Hosts IP Address Hostname Host aliases 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.90 thisbox.ourhouse thisbox ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback etc...... YaST > Network Devices > Network Card Name IP Address AOPEN RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ 192.168.1.90 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 The only difference that I see between the two is "Domain Search1" is set to "ourhouse" in one and to my ISP "magma.ca" in the other... but I've tried both settings and it makes no difference. Currently, firewall is disabled on both machines -- I feel so naked. At this minute, while I'm sending this, the LinkSys' DHCP server is disabled. What am I overlooking? Where is the setting? YaST > Network Services > Network Services (xinetd) is currently not enabled (and never was) on both machines. I just pinged each machine from the other, seconds ago. What's wrong on "thatbox" that it can't see my ISP or beyond? Yes, I know the answer is right in front of my face, but I'm not seeing it. Be as sarcastic as you wish, but please point me at what I'm not allowing myself to see. Kevin (two steps forward, three steps back...)
