Once again:
1) What is the ip address of the toshiba now?
That appears to be the problem. I don't think it has one.
No, it appears that your nic isn't set up. (no eth0 showing in ifconfig)
2) How did it get obtained?
I used YaST to try to configure the network card. I first set it up as Static IP (192.168.100.10) and then changed it to DHCP. But as you can see from the outputs below, the configuration didn't seem to "take". As I said, this looks a lot like a bug.
Why are you still trying to use 100.xx addresses???????????? Your router is on 192.168.1.1 use a 1.xx address that doesn't conflict with the DHCP addresses on the router.
3) What is the output on the laptop of ifconfig?
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3039 (2.9 Kb) TX bytes:3039 (2.9 Kb)
no eth0. If it was set for DHCP at this point, it didn't pick up an ip addr.
4) What is the output on the laptop of route -n?
Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
No eth0 to route anywhere.
You should start writing these questions down so you can provide the information without people having to ask.
Just what I need. Attitude. No problem. I'm going back to 9.3, which works, and let you smart guys figure this out. I wasted enough time trying to fix a broken distribution.
Hey.... I'm ready to give up too if you continue using 100.1 addresses.... :-) Oh... I see you already gave up. Ok...
