[opensuse] Network Configuration problem, DHCP
On openSUSE 11.0 with updates, the net connection using a DSL Router connected through a USB port (detected as eth1: TI NDIS USB Device, where TI = Texas Instruments) worked fine till now (installed a week ago) ; but by error I altered the connection settings to include DHCP (i.e. obtain DNS Name addresses via DHCP). Now, I cannot configure it connect using a static IP & using the DNS Servers that the ISP provides. Now, the 'Update DNS data via DHCP' box remains checked (it is greyed out, as seen in the picture) & I cannot connect to the web. The screenshot is that of the Yast Network Configuration screen with the error is here - http://lvznow.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pY3CJGECi02MReuwa_Ve7CV1DushZFdQNiu7lK... Any suggestions/further steps on how to resolve this? PS: - On shutting down the system yesterday, there was a message stating the eth1 (TI NDIS USB Device) connection was not detected/changed & that I should file a bugzilla report. It scrolled out too fast for to note the exact message. - I have not added any additional hardware or made any significant system changes other checking the DHCP one (obtain IP Address & update DNS address via DHCP); that I can't seem to reverse now. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had this problem too. What I did is go through ncurses yast (yast on the commandline). You will need to put in the nameservers for your isp and the default gateway of your network. In my Yast, change vie dhcp is checked for host and dns, but rigfht next to it it says no interface w/ dchp -- Michael S.

The following is a (probably temporary) workaround through the GUI (Yast Control Center) as I'm not too conversant with the CLI that worked on my PC: There are 2 Network Interfaces in the sytem: eth0 (Mainboard nvidia Ethernet Card (mcp73), that I don't use) & the TI NDIS Device referred to above (it's hot-pluggable to USB port of computer from the corresp port of DSL router...gets detected immediately). Tried setting the Ethernet to DHCP (as I don't use it), disposed off with the gnome Network Manager applet & ...the grayed-out buttons were not there anymore & I could de-select the DHCP option....then re-configured & entered the static IP, DNS's, & now the net connection is as before. As suggested by David, I have added to the indicated Novell Bugzilla thread (comment # 7)- https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404663 == -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
