I'm afraid you are on the wrong list with this question. Try the general mailing lists or installation support for this. On Wed, 11 Feb 2004, ACOTEC wrote:
Hi to all.
having installed the SuSE Linux 9,0 by the CD's, I've got the problem that I can't connect to my service provider in the internet.
I would prefer to configurate with DHCP with YaST2.
the following part of this message contains several terms which I don't know in english language and I try to translate with my restricted english knowledges from my spanish version of Linux. So please excuse my translations.
My system consists in two computers, both running actually on Windows. They are connected each other by a router (3Com 812 ADSL Router) and with Windows they work with internet through a service provider. In one computer I have installed the Linux with a partition, leaving operational the Windows.
My PC works with a card, automatically configurated as eth0. A ping test was successful, but my Konqueror does not find my service provider. When I try to connect with the Konqueror, it says: There was produced an error charging http:www.suse.de Unknown machine www.suse.de
I guess that the mistake(s) are in my internet configuration.
Could somebody tell me please how to make a right configuration?
When I enter YaST -> net devices -> net card -> modify -> edit -> net configuration, I have following window:
net device: eth0
in the frame: select configuration method I have marked "authomatic adress (via DHCP)"
in the lower frame: detailed configuration, there I have marked "change computer name via DHCP"
In the lower part there are several buttons. If I click on "computer name and configuration of server names" it opens the window where by default it puts in "Computer name" : linux and in "domaine name" : local
under the next button "DHCP client options" it opens the window, and should I mark there "requesting broadcast answers"? and in "DHCP client identifier" what shall I write? In "computer name for sending" it says by default AUTO : shall I leave it so?
With the button "routing" the window which opens has a part where it says "routing" and a position to enter data called gateway. By default it's empty. Shall I leave it so? Below that I can mark "activate rerouting IP". Do I have to mark it?
Cliquing the button Hardware specifications it opens a window "manual net card configuration". There it says Net device: eth0 In a frame "Kernel module" it says: Module name: "via-rhine" The position "Options" is empty
Please help me solve this situation and thanks in advance for your patience.
