[opensuse] No network of leap 42.3
I recently installed 42.3 on a second computer. This computer has 2 disks. One disk for Leap 42.3 and the other for Windows 10. The install went very smooth (as usual) and I use grub to boot into my disks. I was able to update 42.3 and noticed no issues. Today I went to use the machine and discovered I have no internet. Ifconfig shows I have no address assigned via dhcp. To eliminate a hardware issue I booted into Windows. Windows had internet connectivity. The motherboard is an ASRock H97 Pro4 which uses the Intel gigabyte ethernet chip, the same one used by the machine I am typing from now (leap 42.2). I then switched to a static ip to see if it is a dhcp issue. I used YAST to configure the static ip. Using wicked I was able to start and stop the network successfully. Ifconfig showed my static ip address assigned to eth0. Still no internet. lsmod shows e1000e is loaded. My system consists of a NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G router attached to a cable modem. All devices are plugged into the router which assigns ip addresses via dhcp during boot. I have the two computers, a ps3, and a cisco wifi plugged into the router. All are visible to the router and have internet access. On the machine in question when I boot into windows the router shows the computer and assigned ip address(dhcp). When I boot into 42.3 nothing shows up on the router, dhcp or static ip. Any ideas what could be going on? Is there a known problem with the e1000e module? Any ideas will be appreciated.

To have internet, you need a default route - with the static config, can you ping the router or any other machine on your network?

That sounds like a config problem on your Leap423.

When you configure a static IP address, you also need to define the route and the DNS servers in YaST. -- fr.gr. Freek de Kruijf member openSUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not on a normal (home or simple) router. You only do that when you want to assign a given IP to that MAC, always. However, some routers can be configured to not give addresses to non listed machines. This should be combined with an strategy to find rogue computers. I have seen the feature on simple routers only on the WiFi side, as a security besides the password. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

Because it has not obtained one or assigned one. You get always that state while the computer boots, before it sets up the network.

I don't know for wifi (because authentication), but on a threaded network, a machine can run the IP it wants without advertising it, at least at start. It can even be on the dhcp reserved part, and the machine can work and go to internet. Of course the router know it as soon as traffic is made on the net. of course if an other machine have the same IP, there are problems. It depends also of the router to store (or not) the IP not covered by it's dhcp. simpler ones don't seems to care. jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Indeed and functions exactly the same re. networking. Just enter the proper data IP ( in the range your router provides, 192.168.1.*, 10.10.138.*) DNS 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 Gateway: the internal IP address of your router.

While a good DHCP + DNS set-up can handle the dhcp telling the dns about devices, having static, predefined addresses for key devices like the printer, the router/gateway can simplify a lot of things about configuration and debugging. It can also simplify ACLs. Personally I hate the idea of early binding ACLs but sometimes it is very useful. I can tell my printer to refuse any device on the network that isn't my PC, my phone or or my laptop or my tablet. It is a simple security hack.

This could be interesting to force anybody in a network going to print to do it via the cups server instead of directly to the printer. How do you do that? Maybe on a different thread. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
I have read all of your comments and here are a couple of things that I did not mention in my first post. Both the default gateway and nameserver are set to the router ip address. I am not even able to ping the router or any other device on the lan. With a static ip address ifconfig shows eth0 with the correct ip address. Using dhcp ifconfig shows eht0 with no ip address. While using dhcp it always times out and I get the message 'setup in progress'. I believe there was a kernel update in the last batch of updates. Could the e1000e module be broken. The computer acts like everything is okay with the network and is just waiting for a response from the router. The router on the other hand never receives any data from the computer. I will get the ifconif-eth0 file posted as soon as I can get it over to this computer. I have looked it over and see nothing different from the same file on the machine I am using now.

Here is the ifconfig-eth0 file. The only thing I find odd is the name given in the file. Not sure what the (2) is in there for, it would suggest there is a 1 somewhere but I have never found it. This system was literally a straight install with no glitches, a couple of updates, and then a network failure. I did not even look at the network until I no longer had it. Has me stumped.

I fired up wireshark. Wireshark is able to capture all of the network chatter occurring on my lan from the other devices.

A lot of responses with a ton of ideas. There also seems to be some confusion about my setup which I will try to clarify. It is a very basic home configuration, nothing fancy. The lan consists of a cable modem and router. The router connects to the cable model using dhcp and does indeed have an ip address different from my lan ip. The router also gets ip addresses for the name servers from my isp and stores them. Connected to the router are 2 computers, 1 wifi router, 1 printer, 1 nas, and 1 ps3. The router acts as the dhcp server for everything connected to it using the address 192.168.133.x. 192.168.133.2 through 192.168.133.9 are reserved for a static ip. The printer and nas have static ip's everything else connects to the router via dhcp. All devices attached to the router use the routers ip of 192.168.133.1 for both the default gateway and nameserver. No other device on the lan has difficulty connecting to the router or getting to the internet. The 42.3 box did not have any problems connecting either until the last update. I cannot connect to the router using either dhcp or setting a static ip nor does the router see the 42.3 machine when using a static ip. Using a static ip the 42.3 machine cannot get to the router or internet nor ping the router or any device connected to the router. Truthfully, I was surprised that wireshark was able to receive packets from the network. I use 192.168.133.2 for the nas and 192.168.133.8 for the printer. I used 192.168.133.3 for the 42.3 machine and set the default gateway and nameserver to 192.168.133.1. Yast was used for all of the configurations I have done thus far. Didn't realize there was no live version for 42.3 so am downloading knoppix 8.1 now. I am beginning to believe if I did a reinstall of 42.3 I would again have no problem with the network.

It could. Do you see anything unusual in the 'dmesg' output, specifically related to that driver?
Can't be, as it works with fixed IP address.

Two items: I don't like using Yast when things go wrong; it is just as good at hiding what's really going on as the Windows GUI. in sutuations like this you need the CLI; you need to be able see what changes are actually made, you need to watch for exit codes; you need to verify. "trust but Verify". Which gets to point 2 For example, when you manually set the ip address with something like ifconfig eth0 192.168.133.3 do an immediate ifconfig -a to verify that the address is set *and* that it is "UP" Yes, I know, I'm paranoid, but SOMETHING IS WRONG Next, verify that the route has been set: route -vn You should have a line that reads something like 192.168.133.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 100 0 0 eth0 That means your ethernet device is on the 192.168.133 LAN and will send packets out there. There should also be a route out to the router. You may have to set this manually for a staticcally assigned address to work if its not there. See the man page for details You route out should look like Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 The "0.0.0.0" means 'everything' that's not the LAN The important bit is the "G" in the flags that says this is the gateway. You might want to try comparing 'ifconfig -a' and 'route -vn' for each of the static and the DHCP approaches. **--> And report same here. <--** You might want to do the same between 42.3 and knoppix. Knoppix, naturally, doesn't have Yast :-) Sorry if this is basics, but you never did mention your routing tables. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ok, then open two terminals as root. In one, run "journalctl --follow" and let it there. In another, try "rcnetwork restart", then "ifconfig" and report back all the text that you get on both terminals. You can pipe all that to a file in order to send from another computer: whatever command | tee -a somefile.txt -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))

Downloaded knoppix 8.1 live cd. Ran it. It make a dhcp connection without any problems. Anton I will try all of your suggestions and report back in the morning. I don't know what happened to 42.3. I did nothing to this install except a couple of prompted updates. On Mon, Oct 9, 2017 at 7:34 PM, Anton Aylward <opensuse@antonaylward.com> wrote:

What were those updates?

Run this: rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} \ %{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}\t%{arch} \ %25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}\n" \ | sort | cut --fields="2-" | tee rpmlist | less -S It displays and saves a list of all installed rpms sorted by date. Dave has to look at the last ones. Also knowing the repo mix would be interesting: zypper lr --details > repolist and attach "repolist" to an email here. It is plain text.

Well, Dave, it looks like the e10000e driver was updated in September so those changes might have made it into a recent kernel update. As Carlos said, check your RPM log. https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/e1000e%20stable/3.3.6/ I note that the readme.txt says: Changelog for 3.3.6 * Fix for Tx Hang: I219LM and I219V devices can fall into unrecovered Tx hang under very stressfully UDP traffic and multiple reconnection of Ethernet cable. This Tx hang of the LAN Controller is only recovered if the system is rebooted.

shouldn't the OP assign/reserve the machine an address in the router config?
I don't know for wifi (because authentication), but on a threaded network, a machine can run the IP it wants without advertising it, at least at start. It can even be on the dhcp reserved part, and the machine can work and go to internet. Of course the router know it as soon as traffic is made on the net.
of course if an other machine have the same IP, there are problems.
It depends also of the router to store (or not) the IP not covered by it's dhcp. simpler ones don't seems to care.
Actually, there's more to it than that. Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) is often used now, to see if an address is in use. Even without DAD, a device will often do a gratuitous ARP, to let other devices know it's on the network. It will also ARP requests to determine the MAC address for the gateway etc.. So, there are lots of things that "advertise" an IP address by an interface that's starting up, even when DHCP is not used. Fire up Wireshark and filter on ARP, to see what actually happens. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In this case it is, because it shows that the hardware works. And he also setup up a static configuration in Linux, and it worked. It is dhcp which does not. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Indeed, and that means you've missed my point. The Windows side shows the hardware works, BTU having a Linux version that shows the hardware works also show the 'how' and allows for a an A-B comparison between the Linux system that works and the Linux system that doesn't. It's not that the same information couldn't have been pulled out of a Windows set-up by someone who knows enough about Windows to do so, and I suppose you could say that someone 'equally knowledgeable' about Linux, like Thee and Mee and the others that that the OP expected to respond, but a Linux-to-Linux comparison would be easier to investigate and a working Linux would reassure the OP that a it isn't intrinsically a Linux vs Windows problem. And yes, Knoppix does good with DHCP as well.
