How can I find out if I have IPv4 configured or not? Ifconfig doesn't indicate an IPv4 address for the network card either in openSUSE 12.2 or Leap 42.2, still in 12.2 it doesn't seem to be a problem for samba.
How do I investigate IPv4 issue which, which you recommend?
If you're connected directly to the DSL modem, it should be providing IPv4 addresses via DHCP. Fire up Wireshark and see what happens when you connect the computer to the modem.
I have IPv4 address for ppp0 interface (Leap 42.2) or dsl0 interface (openSUSE 12.2), but not for the network card interface (eth0/eth2). It's in my original 2 posts, full ifconfig outputs on Leap and 12.2 (though I replaced IPv4 address numbers by xxx - but those are valid working IPv4 addresses).
