Hi. I'm familiar with Linux, but this is my first install of SuSE. Everything went fine except I can't ping my LAN.
I used the Yast GUI to set up the network DNS host IP and default gateway as 192.168.0.1. If I take the net down and bring it up again with 'ifup eth0' it says it got address 192.168.0.8 / 255.255.255.0. That looks ok. However, I can't ping myself at that address. Can't ping the gateway either. Using 'ifconfig' reports eth0 running in ipv6. Doesn't report anything about 192.168.0.8 at eth0, rather some long inet6 address. I haven't tried ipv6 before. SuSE installed that for me without asking.
On a DHCP ipv4 LAN should I run ipv6, and how would I get rid of it?
What now?
Thanks!
Robin

try the loopback - 127.0.0.1 This should tell you if the TCP/IP stack is working correctly. If it works, then your eth0 interface is fragged up. Check for the proper driver for your hardware. I have had the same instance in the past....in version 7.0 though. It turned out that the module loaded for my card was incorrect. So DHCP would not properly broadcast a dhcp_request to the DHCP server. I too got a IPv6 address but no IPv4. If you are utilizing the right driver, then check your cabling. If i were to guess, i'd say it is a driver problem.
