The suse box can ping the router and open the administration of the network through the default gateway of the router. Any attempt to reach the internet results is www..... can not be found. /etc/resolv.conf changes dynamically and shows the ISP in the search line and their 2 nameservers, also. Still not joy. Can you ping an outside address:
ping 209.97.46.5
This is the address for www.usatoday.com.
If you can ping the outside address, but can not ping www.usatoday.com, then there is something wrong with your name resolution... and probably /etc/resolv.conf is the problem.
That file should point to the router, the router should get the dynamic name server information from the ISP. I have a similar intermittent problem with my SMC4008ABR. Other than forcing the name server information into the Config file (via YaST) I have found that dis-connecting the DSL connection, and then reconnecting, using it's administration software, to be a cure. {snip} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
