Cant Access Internet

Hi I am quite new in SuSE.
I am using SuSE 10.3 (64-bit) on Core2 Duo (E4500), M/B: MSI 945GCM5 built-in NIC: RTL8111b.

From same m/c, I can access Internet via Windows OS. But not from SuSE.
* NIC configed with real IP, proper subnet, gw and dns. ping replies for loopback but not for other address/url.
* firewall turned off.

Any solution or hints... plz.

if you go into yast>network devices>network card is your card listed there? if so what driver is it using? what program are you trying to use to connect, kinternet, knetworkmanager? are you trying for wireless or wired?

sorry for so many questions

never used static ip, but try switching to traditional method with ifup, you might want to give knetwork manager a try. in the module name under the hardware tab is that driver listed there (rtl...)?

I identified the prob by myself. The RTL8111b driver provided on SuSE 10.3 is DEFECTIVE.
I tried with an old 3COM NIC, everything works fine. Just wasted 2 daz !!!

Mmm I hope I'm really, really wrong but from the sounds of things you need the r1000 now I'm not sure if this is in the default kernel.

http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.ph...=36365&st=0 it wasn't last post last year, I'm still looking.

Perhaps check with modprobe -l | grep r1000

I'm still googling hopefully you won't have to go through all that

Edit
Hehehe.. Glad you solved it the other one doesn't look quite as easy.
