Network doesn't work

Hello all,

I've just installed SuSE 10 in my Asus L2000 laptop. I used to have SuSE
9, but I installed this one from scratch.

I think I have all my network definitions right, but I'm not able to
connect to my lan or, by that mean, to the Internet.

The machine is wire lan connected and IP address, netmask and gateway
are correct, but I can't connect to any other machine.

I ran Ethereal and my network card is reaching correctly the router but
it can't respond to the it.

I've tried to disconnect the firewall without success.

Any ideas?

Thank you all.

Regards,
Pedro Maximiano

Have you set the DNS entries in the nic config?

Normally if your router does DNS then that IP would be the first in the
list of 3, you can also enter external DNS IP`s ( your ISP should
provide at least one server usually 2 server addresses ) This is the
way I always set my nics up, however your router might not do DNS so it
should fall back to the others.

Hello,

Yes, my DNS's are setup.

All computers in the network are pinging back, but I still can't respond
to my gateway (router).

Thanks.

Hi

Can you ping outside the router? Or resolve names?
Is this a home setup? Maybe MAC authentication is set on the router? Do you
use DHCP? IP picked up ok?.....
Definetaly sounds DNS related though

Hello

I can ping past the router. I don't think is MAC auth, because I can
access Internet from Win and I accessed it from my previous version of
SuSE. I use static IP address. I can even access the other Win machines
using samba.
It's wiered. I'll try to setup my ISP DNS servers.

Thanks.
