I have tried RTFM, searching the suse website, emailing suse support and am still at a loss. When the system boots the network does not come up. After running the following scripts the network starts up.
/sbin/init.d/dhclient restart /usr/sbin/rcnetwork restart /sbin/init.d/firewall restart
I added the following line in lilo with no affect. append="eth0=0xfce0,eth0 eth1=0x300,eth1" What does 0xfce0 represent?
Sorry for the frequency of my questions on this subject, but as you can tell I am new to both Linux and configuring networks.
Thanks, Mike
Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq If you have more than one nic, you will need to edit lilo.conf:
append="eth0=0xfce0,eth0 eth1=0x300,eth1"
Otherwise only one may show up. I use yast1 for nic setup. -- rsweet@socal.rr.com | Baker's First Law of Federal -o) | Geometry: A block grant is a Linux, the Choice /\ | solid mass of money surrounded of a GNU generation _\_v | on all sides by governors. Sorry, you need to put your own hardware info... 0xfce0 is from /proc/pci:
Ethernet controller: Realtek 8029 (rev 0). Medium devsel. IRQ 11. I/O at 0xfce0 [0xfce1]. If you do a less or cat /proc/pci it will give you the hardware address. You are telling the system "Hey I have 2 ethernets, one at XXXXXXX and one at XXXXXX. Hope that clarifies things. -- rsweet@socal.rr.com | Maternity pay?
