I havea Linksys BEFSR41 router and a static ip address, I would like to get this to working with 8.0 Pro. Can someone tell me how to do this, I have it connected to Windows on the same machine but it will not connect to SuSE. I had a BEFSR41 and now have a BEFW11S4 that works flawlessly with my desktop system (SuSE 9.0, but had been using 8.2 and 7.3 before that). Both of my systems use static IP addresses because of NFS and backups. For a static IP address, you must specify a gateway (default for Linksys is 192.168.1.1). You can do this through YaST/Network Devices/Network card. Click on chenges and select the appropriate card. The clikc on edit, then routing, and type the gateway address into the "default gateway" slot, then click Finish. (I believe that YaST in 8.0 is identical to 9.0 in this scenario).
