I don't believe my network is configured properly, but I've tried everything I can think of to fix it.
"ifconfig" says the following about eth0: inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.255
The netmask should be 255.255.255.0.
Indeed it should
Under YaST2, eth0 is shown to have static address setup with an address of 192.168.1.5 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Under "routing", I can only specify the gateway address (which is correctly specified), but I cannot specify a correct subnet mask.

I've tried manually overriding with ifconfig and other CLI tools. However, my Internet access (and all network access) stops when I do that. It's only when I go back to YaST2 that I regain that access, but then ifconfig reports the incorrect netmask as described above.
How are you connecting to the internet?
The short answer is "the regular way."
<snip> Which regular way? You have an eth0, which suggests 2 possible regular ways.
