My wlan device is a USB dongle, a Fujitsu-Siemens E5400. It has behaved reasonably well under OS 10.2 and OS 10.3 but not under 11.0RC1.
What are OS 10.2 and OS 10.3? Mac OS 10 releases?
In WXP, 10.2 and 10.3 my desktop is assigned ip 192.168.2.2 from a wlan Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router.
Ok, so you have a router.
In 11.0RC1 I can ping my router,
If you can Ping, you already have connectivity. Ping requires an IP.
but I cannnot get onto the internet. We see that a secondary ip assigned, a new HOSTNAME and ifdown/ifup no longer works.
You must have selected networkmanager in yast. That prevents ifup/down from working/
- Why a new hostname and a new ipaddress ?
New hostname was because of the way you configured the dhcpclient Specifically, in /etc/dhclient.conf you will see that the "request" line includes host-name Take that out and it won't change the host name for you.
- How do I make the DNS servers 213.163.128.185, 213.142.0.242 the preferred ones ?
DNS servers, when behind a router are usually set to point to the router which acts as your DNS server. You can configure some routers to set specific DNS servers in the router settings, but many simply set each client machine to use the router itself as a DNS server, and pass the requests upstream to your ISP. You can temporarily override the dns servers assigned by the router by putting them ind /etc/resolv.conf This file usually gets over-ridden by dhcp client when you get a new ip assigned by the router. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
