Hello there all: I'm a linux newbie and I've installed suse9.2 but can't
get onto the internet. I'm so new I don't even understand the wizards in
suse. I have a router that's connected to the ethernet card in the computer.
I have found a howto that says I can set this up in a terminal. So I've
taken the information from the command window in xpPro with the command
'ipconfig /all'
Then, as root in suse, I opened an xterm and did the following:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.33 broadcast 192.168.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0
up
# route add default gw 192.168.1.1
# echo "nameserver 80.58.0.33" >/etc/resolv.conf
# echo "nameserver 80.58.32.97" >>/etc/resolv.conf
After doing that, I have no connection to the internet. In a browser I can't
access the router either by typing in »192.168.1.1, though I can do it in
xpPro. I can only ping localhost, not the router either. I 'think' I have
pppE, that's what the router's info says. xpPro says dhcp is enabled. I have
switched the firewall in suse off, still no go. Where am I wrong, please?
thanks in advance
brian
