Hi all I hope somebody can help me. I upgraded to SUSE 9.0 not without a lot of problems, but the main thing is I lost my ( Internet) network card connection. Orinoco -pci, Netgear Ma311. The card is detected by Yast ,Eth0, automatic address setup via DHCP, Then the hostname and domain name. Should the hostname be the IP address from my ISP? and what should the domain name be? Or are there other things I should check or do? The default gateway comes up as 192.168.1.200. I'm back on the slowest dialup you can think of and the connection cuts of on random (six times in the last 8 minutes). I lost a number of emails as well because I know it was asked before on the list ( I think). -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.

Are you connnected directly or through a router/gateway?
I'm assuming your connected through broadband like DSL or cable modem?
Is so, what is the actual IP of the router, as it might not be 192.168.1.200

The hostname is the name of your computer and the domain can be any thing you want that is not registered as you will only be using them locally anyway. If the default gateway points to a local broadband router, based on the address assigned by dhcp, that should be good. Also check you /etc/resolv.conf file to make sure that it the dns from your provider, or your own if you run DNS locally.

Hi Bill I think others have reported problems with wireless devices that appear as eth0, and have had to rename the wireless ifup scripts to eth0. But to test things can you get it running using iwconfig and ipconfig. You should not need any host or domain names to be able to ping the outside world. (ping 216.239.57.99 as an example). If that runs then you only need DNS. Are you still on your national free 802 service? David

Is the network card connected to a modem or a router? If it is setup to obtain an address via a DHCP server, all the settings should then be available. Check that the firewall settings do not stop a dhcp client from updating routing or resolv.conf files. LW999

Thanks LW999. Everything is working allright. I posted on the list what I did. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."
