Hello, I've a basic problem using a static ip adres in opensuse 12.1. When I configure the static ip-adres in yast the configuration is accepted. but the ip-adres is not assigned to the network card. DHCP however is working fine. setup opensuse is a xen guest on a opensuse 11.4 xen server opensuse 12.1 x64 (with all online updates) I do the following steps 1) open yast -> network devices. 2) assign ip-adres 3) save Things I notice: 1) ifconfig do not show a ip-adres 2) /etc/sysconfig/netwerk/ifcfg..... seems to show a normal 3) no strange messages in log/messages. it only reports up and down of the nic. 4) When I start a ping from a other machine to the supossed ip-adres. there is a brief moment the ip-adres replies. This sometime during yast activating the config. 5) this is reproduce with every installation I make. Anybody any idea? this was working for me in every opensuse version up to 11.4. mfg, jeroen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
