I have IPv4 address for ppp0 interface (Leap 42.2) or dsl0 interface (openSUSE 12.2), but not for the network card interface (eth0/eth2). It's in my original 2 posts, full ifconfig outputs on Leap and 12.2 (though I replaced IPv4 address numbers by xxx - but those are valid working IPv4 addresses).
Every DSL modem I've worked with, in the past several years, has a built in router that must be specifically disabled, if you want to use your own router. If you're configuring for DSL, when you in fact have modem
I never wrote I wanted to use my own router. Where did you read it? I do not have router at all.
with built in router, you will not be able to connect. Try just a plain DHCP Ethernet connection
Patrick, James, thank you for trying to help, but it seems you are unfamiliar with the type of DSL connection I have, and you are trying to lead me to the wrong direction. My DSL modem has no router or if it has, it's not configurable. I don't either need DHCP since zeroconfig works with this type of connection.
Because you need a Local Area Network in order to use Samba, and typically everybody has it on the eth connection (or the wlan), and the eth is connected to a router and to the rest of the computers on the LAN. We are trying to find your LAN. So, explain where is your LAN. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
