Hi,all I have a network problem. I have been on the phone (I type this still on the phone) with Suse customer support for 79 minutes.
HELP!!
In 7.2 my 3 machine network used a gateway server to connect to the internet, with masq and forwarding. Its entry in rc.config was this:
IParameters for ifconfig, simply enter "bootp" or "dhcpclient" to use the # respective service for configuration. # Sample entry for ethernet: # IFCONFIG_0="192.168.81.38 broadcast 192.168.81.63 netmask 255.255.255.224"
IFCONFIG_0="dhcpclient" IFCONFIG_1="" IFCONFIG_2="192.168.0.99 dynamic pointopoint 192.168.0.1 up" IFCONFIG_3=""
NAMESERVER="192.168.10.1"
I have now set up my notebook with Suse 8. I went into Yast 2 and entered the following:
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 ( i also tried ~.0.99 and ~.0.1) Static address (of the notebook) 192.168.10.3 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Host name: Linux (my notebook name) ALSO I checked change name via dhcp ) Name server list: 192.168.10.1 Domain - nickselby.de (this worked under Suse 7.2
When I ping localhost it's no problem.
When I ping ANYTHING else, I get network unreachable.
I've turned off the firewall completely. (notice to crackers, I guess)
Please can someone help?

What is the ip address of your gateway?
Interesting point. I think it's 192.168.10.1 but the info above also has ~0.99 which confuses me. I did NOT set up the masq on the gateway. ? NIck

My guess is that you need to make sure that your Default Gateway has the correct ip address of your gateway. At home I have three machines 192.168.0.1 - 3. I have the firewall active on 192.168.0.1 and have masq etc set up on that. On all other machines, I have 192.168.0.1 set as the Default Gateway. It seems to work, okay. I don't know how other people have their network set up or whether they have a better idea. Hope that helps. Eddie

This is not enough. What were the contents of /etc/route.conf You seem to have been using two cards. Can you re-post and describe specifically what were your previous settings: How many ethernet cards How was each one configured The IP number The netmask or subnet (e.g. 255.255.0.0) The default gateway The DNS IP numbers.

you should use 255.255.0.0, since you are using 192.168.0.* and 192.168.10.*
Host name: Linux (my notebook name) ALSO I checked change name via dhcp ) Name server list: 192.168.10.1 Domain - nickselby.de (this worked under Suse 7.2
If you were using dhcpclient before, why don't you select the same thing again? On Yast2 use the option "Automatic address setup (via DHCP)" I have set up a friend's PC that way (she uses a cable ISP) and had no need to enter routing or DNS settings. -- Rafael

Arrggh. I did a tarball of the etc directory and for some bizarre reason route.conf isn't in it!! I'll have to uninstall the hard drive with 8 and reinstall the one with 7.2, look up the file and then get back. But thanks so much for the questions.I'll come back asap with the answers!

I hope that' the case here. Thanks for the help and the time! NIck
