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? NIck
