Cannot Access Internet After 10.0 Update

I have installed the Novell boxed 10.0 version from DVD (Making sure that I did not attempt update during installation), however, after I finished the installation I updated & now I cannot access Internet/email.

Any advice please.

how did you update? have you checked network card settings in yast? how are you connecting - cable, or wireless? any programs you were using may not be installed on new install, so maybe reinstall a network manager. try knetworkmanager for wired and (although it does wireless in my experience, i had a card which it doesn't work with) for wireless try wifi-radar.

if you can tell on how you were connected in 10.0, then we can help you much more.

thanks.

Hi Stig.

I went online for the Automatic updates (I could access Internet before update). As this is my Desktop, I have a cable connection.

I've downloaded 10.3 & I think I will install that, maybe I won't get the problem when I update that.

Hi Stig.

Well, I've successfully loaded 10.3 to one of my HDD's (250GB) & no problem with losing internet connection after online update. However, I now can't access my other 2 windoze HDD's (Vista 400GB & XP another 250GB), any advice.

PS - this is the 1st time I've logged into the forum in SuSE.

well that is excellent news that your internet is up and running, now, regarding accessing the other windows drives, what exactly do you mean you can't access them, do you mean you can't see them in my computer? you can see them but don't have read/write access to them? you can see them but only have read access? if i can't get this sorted in 2-3posts then perhaps start a new thread where it will get more attention, when/if you do so, send me a PM and i'll look into it.

Hi Stig.

After grub loading,when I select Windows1 or 2 from O/S options I get the following error messages:-

Windows1

"rootnoverify (hd1,1)"
"chainloader (hd0,0)+1".


Windows2

"rootnoverify (hd1,1)"
"chainloader (hd2,0)+1".



any advice?


Cheers

PS - Should we re-name this thread?

oh i see, i thought you meant access as in data, but you mean boot, so you are trying to triple boot as it were. all you should need to do is (it will require a little reading or some help with more knowledgable members of the forum than myself) edit your grub menu.lst file and you fstab file. what is happening is most likely grub is being pointed to the wrong partition of the hard drive, or the boot entry for windows has been over written.

near the end should be a little useful

Cheers Stig.

Just to make it clear, these aren't installed on 1 partitioned drive, I have 3 differents O/S's
on 3 different HDD's (400GB Western digital SATA [Vista], 250GB Hitachi IDE [XP] & 250GB Maxtor IDE [Open SuSE 10.3]).

PS - How's the Hamster.

from looking at your previous post it looks like it's seeing the bootable drive as your suse drive, and the boot loader is partition 1 (hd 1,1). you may want to check grub menu.lst file and have a look. i think you should create another topic in this forum (install/boot).

what do you mean, how is the hamster?
