Well, Still a few hours to the release, thus I'll take the liberty to post to factory ;) After switching my repos to 12.3 from 12.2, running "zypper in zypper" and then "zypper dup" I ended up with a weird network state. The network has a bridge configured and there is one ethernet card. The bridge uses a static IP, everything is IPv4 and needless to say I did not make any network changes right before or while I was running zypper dup. The machine is also an nis client. Running ypwhich produces: ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind But ypbind is running: systemctl status ypbind.service ypbind.service - NIS/YP (Network Information Service) Clients to NIS Domain Binder Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ypbind.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue, 2013-03-12 20:46:14 EDT; 12min ago Process: 1608 ExecStartPost=/usr/share/ypbind/ypbind-systemd-post (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1605 (ypbind) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/ypbind.service └ 1605 /usr/sbin/ypbind -n I can also get into the machine via ssh. But trying to get out fails: traceroute www.gmail.com traceroute to www.gmail.com (74.125.226.214), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets using UDP 1 triumph.rjsdomain (192.168.1.6)(H!) 3004.348 ms (H!) 3003.268 ms (H!) 3002.193 ms the routing table appears to be OK: # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default gateway.rjsdoma 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 and I can ping the gateway: # ping gateway PING gateway.rjsdomain (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from gateway.rjsdomain (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.415 ms 64 bytes from gateway.rjsdomain (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.332 ms 64 bytes from gateway.rjsdomain (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.341 ms ^C --- gateway.rjsdomain ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.332/0.362/0.415/0.043 ms Tried restarting the network, no success. ifconfig shows the following info. # ifconfig br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 6C:F0:49:06:05:6A inet addr:192.168.1.6 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4941 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3220 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:734351 (717.1 Kb) TX bytes:576571 (563.0 Kb) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 6C:F0:49:06:05:6A inet addr:192.168.1.6 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5575 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3768 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:927474 (905.7 Kb) TX bytes:672689 (656.9 Kb) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:6645 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6645 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:434935 (424.7 Kb) TX bytes:434935 (424.7 Kb) I thought a bound interface has 0.0.0.0 If I remove the bridge and just use eth0 as the network device things work. Putting the bridge back in place (using YaST) kills the network again. :( Anyway, I am stumped and need help.
