Hi all. Help! I broke something, and I don't know how to fix it. I installed SuSE 7.3 from CD, and initially set up my internet connection through eth0 (to ADSL). This worked for a little while until I made the mistake of trying to talk a friend through the setup of his dial-up internet connection. In order to have the same screens in front of me as he did, I ran YaST. I thought I was OK if I didn't save anything. Unfortunately, YaST didn't believe that I didn't want to save any changes (I guess that's what happened...). So, next time I rebooted, two ugly things happened. 1)these messages appeared during startup: "/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.0.1" failed" "SIOCADDRT failed" "Setting up routing failed" 2)When I got into Gnome (or KDE...) I was looking at an error message saying "I could not start your audio mixer. You might not have audio compiled into your kernel, or you may have incorrect permissions for /dev/mixer." Now, audio worked before, so I really doubt that it has been forcibly extracted from my kernel... I checked the permissions for /dev/mixer and they looked fine.(crw-rw-rw- on mixer0, mixer1, etc., which is the same as the permissions on another PC that has working audio) The audio is annoying, but a secondary consideration. Primarily, I need my internet connection back. I have verified that the problem is not hardware. I performed a major "Update" of SuSE from the CDs, so that virtually ALL packages were re-installed. Nothing changed. I therefore assume that I've broken some config files somewhere. The problem is that I don't know where to look, or what I should be looking for. YaST (and Network configuration) were no help, even when I deleted and recreated my eth0 device. Can somebody suggest? Is more detail necessary? Thanks.
