I am having a problem setting up a new 8.1 installation. I am installing on a supermicro dual Xeon board with 2 on board ethernet controllers. One is an Intel EE Pro 100 and the other is an Intel gigabit interface. I've disabled the gigabit interface via jumper so as to reduce the variables (although I've tried that interface too). I did a fresh install of SUSE 8.1. YAST2 correctly finds the EtherExpress PRO/100 S Server Adapter. I've set a static IP and entered the hostname, name servers and default router. The box cannot ping out or be pinged. It can ping itself using the static IP. sboker@datran6:~/ncaa/GPAcalc02b> ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) from 192.168.1.12 : 56(84) bytes of data. From 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable I'm using a known good cable, known good switch and known good router. I have a working SUSE 6.2 box on the same network, so I looked at all of its configurations options in YAST2, removed its PCI NIC, disabled the Supermicro onboard ethernet and installed the (again EE Pro/100) NIC into the Supermicro. All YAST2 settings were correct based on the other working box, and I get exactly the same symptoms with the known good NIC. Back with the Supermicro onboard ethernet, I ask for ifinfo on eth0. Here is what I get. I'm unfamiliar with the output of ifinfo, but the last line looks fishy to me. sboker@datran6:~/ncaa/GPAcalc02b> /sbin/ifstatus eth0 eth0 is up 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:30:48:12:43:38 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.12/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe12:4338/10 scope link Configured routes for interface eth0: default 192.168.1.1 - - Active routes for interface eth0: 192.168.1.0/24 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.12 default via 192.168.1.1 0 of 1 configured routes for interface eth0 up I'd really appreciate any hints you might be able to give me.
