My son has just bought a new Toshiba notebook. It has two ethernet cards (a toshiba america rtl-8139 card and an askey lan controller) and is loaded with Suse 9.1. The ethernet wireless and wired cards configure properly but the internet connection is not made. At installation the internet test fails. The error log wasn't much help it just said the connection failed. I told him it is probably something simple but I don't know where to start looking. What should we do to get more information on why the connection is not being made. Or even better the solution itself. Thanks, Jerome

With two interfaces, this is not terribly suprising. I had the same symptom when I installed 9.1. Start by taking one interface down ("ifdown wlan0" or "ifdown eth1"). Then try configuring eth0 using Yast (Hardware Devices > Network Card > Change, or possibly Configure). Details vary with the connection: DHCP or static IP, etc. HTH, Jeffrey

I would start by setting up each interface individually, without the other. Also, can you tell us how you expect it to work? Is the machine simultaneously connected to two networks? or does it move from one to the other? Dylan
