Hi all,
I installed on my PC (Intel Penthium IV 2.8 Ghz - 500 Mb Ram - Network:3 COM Gigabit Lom (3C940) ) Suse 9.1 professional. I configured network board and then my local network work fine. The problem is the internet connection! When I try to start kinternet the connection start but it haven't success. This is the log file:
SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.16 on root. Status is: disconnected trying to connect to smpppd connect to smpppd Status is: disconnected Status is: connecting pppd[0]: Plugin passwordfd.so loaded. pppd[0]: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0 pppd[0]: --> Initializing modem. pppd[0]: --> Sending: ATM1 pppd[0]: --> Sending: ATQ0 pppd[0]: --> Re-Sending: ATM1 pppd[0]: --> Modem not responding. pppd[0]: Connect script failed Status is: disconnected pppd[0] died: Connect script failed (exit code 8)
I think that the problem could be that the kinternet try to use the modem (and I haven't a modem in my PC) to connect itself to the internet instead to use the network board and the local network. If it so, Where and how i can change this setting-out
That sounds likely, yes :) You don't use kinternet to connect through a network card, that's for modem and ISDN only. You go to YaST->Network Devices->Network Card and configure it there. If your connection works fine on your local network but you can't reach the internet, then the problem is either that you don't have a default gateway configured, or that you don't have a name server configured, depending on exactly what the problem is If you run ping 134.76.11.100 do you get a reply? If you don't, or get network (or host) unreachable, then you don't have a default gateway configure. Set it up in YaST to match the setting on your other computers, probably the IP of the machine directly connected to the internet. If you do get a reply from that ping, try ping www.google.com If you get "unknown host", then you don't have a nameserver configured. Set that up in YaST too. If you do get replies on both those pings, then you are connected to the internet, just surf away :)
