What does "#ifconfig -a" show on suse live eval system? what does "#netstat -rn" show on your suse live eval system? I assume you just nee to bring up your ethernet interface and add routes on your suse live eval system. Try something like: #ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up #route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 #route add default gw 192.168.1.1 Dusty ----------------------------------------------- > > What do you need help with? > > i have been trying all different types of network configurations but nothing > seems to work. i need to fill out (i think) these following areas... > i hope this gay seperation with the *'s makes i easier to understand > *************************************************************************** > a setup method either using DHCP ( i looked on my with my dads cpu router > and it says DHCP enabled) > > or > > setup using a static ip address and subnet mask > **************************************************************************** > under "detailed setup" there are 2 buttons called " hostname and domain" and > " routing" > on the hostname and domains window it asks for hostname and domain and it > has as default, respectivley, Linux and Local > below that it has "nameserver list" which says YAST_ASK > and Domain search list which is blank > **************************************************************************** > ** > on the router button the window displays a prompt for Default gateway which > is blank > below it is Expert Configuration where it asks for the following: > |Destination | Dumy/Gateway | Netmask | Device| > **************************************************************************** > ********** > that is what it asks for and now for my network config > my outside connection or "WAN" ( as linksys puts it) is roadrunner > IP: you dont need to know > Subnet mask: 255.255.248.0 > than a Default gateway and DNS ip's > > on my lan... > my router or device is known as: 192.168.1.1 > dubnet mask is (as always): 255.255.255.0 > __________________________________________________ > i have win2000 adv. server on here already and am using a live eval. of SuSe > the internet works fine with win2000 > the router recognises me when i am using win2000 as 192.168.1.5 and the > gateway as 192.168.1.1 (as it should be) > > Anyways i have tried so many configurations and am stumped i shouldn't need > any drivers according to the website. i am sorry for making this so long and > dont flame me for not being able to get on the internet with linux it is > (sadly) one of the things i dont know but i know a lot of other stuff on > linux. mainly dont flame me because i dont know one thing.
