I just installed Suse 10.0 from the CD's--I can't boot from DVD, for some reason--and I can not reach the internet. 9.2 worked. 8.2 worked. 10.0--zip. Maybe it's due to the firewall that is installed automatically? I have a Linksys router with a firewall, I don't know why I need one from Linux. This is the same machine, and as you see, the Windows connection to the net works fine. I'm not a computer maven, so I would appreciate a solution in words of one syllable.
TIA--doug
If it's the firewall, it can be disabled in YaST under "Security and Users". A check under "Network Devices" to make sure the ethernet card set up for DHCP and to allow DHCP to set /etc/resolv.conf (DNS server). Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
