[opensuse] dsl network connection type setup in yast
Hello: The question applies to openSUSE 13.1, 13.2, possibly older versions too. What is the correct method to set up DSL network in YAST? What I would like to know exactly, what to choose in YAST Control Center -> Network Devices -> Network Settings -> Overview -> Edit -> Network Card Setup -> Address tab. There are three options there: - No Link and IP Setup (Bonding Slaves) - Dynamic Address x) DHCP x) DHCP + Zeroconf x) Zeroconf - Statically assigned IP Address If I know correctly DSL does not use DHCP, but I don't have and assigned static IP address either. The provider assigns an IP address at every connection but not by DHCP (?) . If I set it to DHCP (in oS 12.2), network connection works but I have in /var/log/messages many: eth0: broadcasting for a lease eth0: timed out So, what is the correct setting?

You want DHCP. Zeroconf gives you an address in the 169.254/16 range, which is used for connecting computers on a peer to peer basis. Also, don't forget to choose the right MTU. It should be 1492 for PPPoE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

DHCP -> Zeroconf seems OK, the messages are gone. Thanks! Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
