Of course the internet connexion during installation failed. I can for instance go to google.com but not to yahoo.com : the distant server seems stalled! The most incredible is that I can't even get to my router configuration page though I can ping it. I can ping anything actually (included yahoo.com). So it is not a name resolution problem. It is not either a firewall problem and it is not a hardware problem as it works perfectly under Suse 10.1 and under Windows and I tried a second ethernet card which gave the same surprising result under 10.2. I tried also to lower the MTU but it didn't change anything. Need to say I've got no error message unless things like "server timed out". I finally noticed that the problem comes from the kernel. I compiled the 2.6.18.2-34 again, even the 2.6.19.1 from kernel.org, but no good... I ended by compiling the 2.6.16.21-0.25 from Suse 10.1 in my 10.2 installation. And since this morning it seems to have been working well. As I'm not quite a computer engineer, I'm unable to understand what parameter in the kernel should be changed. Still I can tell you what hardware I've got (nForce4 chipset under forcedeth driver) and reproduce any test you need under the 2.6.18 or 2.6.19 kernels. Hope you will have an idea... Ps : I changed the priority to high as this bug prevents necessary proper internet connection... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
