Hey SuSE folks; Again I wish to let you know that there is a problem with Yast2 mounting CDs correctly. During a "Install and Remove Software" Yast asks for a CD #? and then complains that it is not the correct CD. Problem is that the CD has not been mounted. If I manually mount it Yast is happen and will do as I requested. This happens for sure as a console and may also happen in X. I do have all updates/patches as recent as today. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net

You didn't say what SuSE you're using . IIRC that happened to me in 8.0. (or 7. something) Not sure what the reason was, but I fixed it by starting SuSE from the CD and doing an upgrade . Of course it said there was nothing to upgrade but after that Yast recognized the Cd's again. HTH. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.

I'm running SUSE 8.2 My home network is DSL feeding into router. Dynamic ip addresss assignments. Installed a new NIC in one of my computers. Suse recognizes it, and it can communicate with the router and is assigned an ip address. But it can't get past the router to the internet. When I ping an internet name (e.g, yahoo.com) the error is "unknown host." When I ping an address (e.g. 65.115.115.115) the error is "network unreachable." I can ping the router and the entire home LAN. Where should I be looking? FWIW, my resolv.conf file doesn't look right. It should be a temporary file generated by dhcpd, but it looks like a regular resolv.conf file. Thanks as always. ===== Michael G.

At your router config. Is it NAT'ing your internal network? Is it running a DHCP server? If you can communicate with the router and your LAN, your SuSE box seems be be correctly configured (probably dhcp is working). You just need to be sure your internal network is being masqueraded to the internet, as your internal IPs will not be routable on the internet without NAT. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

And make sure you have proper nameserver entrys in your resolv.conf file.

I had already taken down the other NIC with ifdown eth0 that didn't seem to help. but I tried taking down the new NIC ifdown eth1 and putting it back up ifup eth1 and voila, internet! I suppose somewhere there's a reason for this. Thanks all MO --- Ken Schneider <kschneider@rtsx.com> wrote:

hmmm...this sounds like a DNS problem. So, your suse machine now has 2 NICS? Or did you replace the one that was in there, so you still have 1 NIC? I'd just redo the config. for the single NIC. Run yast and make sure you remove any NIC settings and add your single NIC - at least if you do have 1 NIC, the same would apply with 2, but don't touch your network settings for the other NIC. Also, just to be sure - are u running any firewall on your suse box? You have a router so that should be taking care of NAT or firewall...but just want to be sure.
