Ethernet Time!!!
You know in the install process where you are asked "do you just use loopback, or a real network"? If you say real network, you are prompted for the ethernet address, netmask, gateway, and p to p partner.
Is there a way of initiating this script on a running currently installed system? I looked all thru Yast, but didn't see it. I couldn't find an entry in rc.config for gateway address.
I messed it up once, and tried to recover by editing /etc/route.conf to no avail.
What I did was enter a gateway that didn't exist, and I tried to remove Default Gateway from route.conf; but it didn't fix the problem.
When I reinstalled, and left Gateway empty in the above mentioned script, it works fine.
I know that installation script does it correctly, so can I use it anytime after installation? If so, how?
Go to "System administration" / "Network configuration" / "Network base configuration". Now press F6 for "IP-address" and you get a mask that allows you to specify the default gateway.
