Good morning, all!
...and then tomas.kuchta.lists@gmail.com said... % ... % The install summary page is where you can enable disable % firewall/openSsh/changeSW/runlevel/etc. The next install step is the actual % install, I think.
I played with a few installations before finally committing. I of course had to go and add various patterns and packages (yes, including those deprecated tools :-) to get the system I want, but that part all went well. I also got sshd up and happy even though I don't really know my firewall yet.
I *thought* I had DHCP beaten by, before actually installing, going into Network and setting the host name and IP address. The first time I did that she stopped hard, so the next time I also included routing & nameserver info, and she continued, so I figured I was in good shape; yay. But ... she grabbed an address from the DHCP server instead of using the one I specified! Arrrrgh.
Now that I'm installed and don't particularly want to start over, what's the best way to switch to a static IP address (since I don't have a DHCP server I can configure to hand out specifics that way)? And, for future reference, what should one do at the summary stage to actually ensure a static IP?
if using utilizing wicked, yast network -> Overview -> select device -> edit _. statically specify IP address 192.168.1.10 specify Subnet mask /24 hostname ok next Hostname/DNS specify name servers and search ok next Routing specify gateway (in my case 192.168.1.254) if using NetworkManager (not if front of me) edit and select manual and specify local IP addr netmask and gateway name servers and search fwiw, on Tumbleweed and have been using both above for some years. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
