Hi SuSEr! Just installed SuSE 8.2. Yast is great! But I have problem with network. In fact I install SuSE on my 2nd box (192.168.100.2) in which I have also RH-9 & Conectiva-9. I have another linux box (192.168.100.1) for FW & router of ADSL line. Under RH9 & Conectiva-9, I need config default gw is 192.168.100.1 for box 192.168.100.2 and network works fine. But not under SuSE-8.2. By viewing the kernel module, I see that the same kernel module was loaded in SuSE and RH9 (8139too, I use NIC Realtek RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+). When I ping localhost or 127.0.0.1 => OK: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [SuSE] > ping localhost PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.028 ms 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.024 ms 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.025 ms 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.025 ms 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.024 ms 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=0.024 ms 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=0.026 ms 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=0.026 ms --- localhost ping statistics --- 8 packets transmitted, 8 received, 0% packet loss, time 6994ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.024/0.025/0.028/0.003 ms [SuSE] > ping 127.0.0.1 PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.028 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.023 ms --- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.023/0.025/0.028/0.005 ms ------------------------------------------------------------------ But when I ping to 192.168.100.1 it does not work: [SuSE] > ping adsl.nguyendai.org PING adsl.nguyendai.org (192.168.100.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
