Can't connect with static IP on wired network

[finstro]

Hi

Installed OS 11.2 RC2. Automatically my PC take a dinamic IP (10.0.0.102) from my router DHCP router. I want to give a static IP on my system, so I create a new wired profile thru network manager (clicking on ethernet icon near clock on bottom of my menu).

I put a static IP (10.0.0.11) that work fine on WinXXX. If I select this new profile, it works fine, however I'm not able to make this profile to be default at boot time. Network manager always take a dinamic IP and I must select my "static profile" after booting.

What am I doing wrong?

thx

For wired, static connections, I would prefer the IFUP method and skip NWM.

[finstro]

But the question is that it should work anyway, it's not?

So, what is the NM problem?

Thank you

[Akoellh]

No idea, it works here™ with both methods.

[finstro]

So, how do you get to avoid your box get a dynamic IP?

[Akoellh]

Instead of giving informations/logs/configuration files of your system, you ask me how I did my setup?

How much sense does that make, or how can you be sure my setup is any similar to yours? (It isn't, I assure you.)

Wouldn't it be a little more logical you start posting decent information about your setup?

Read the first sticky in the wireless subforum, post #3.

Hi again

I'm sure is NOT a hardware problem. My wired connection is OK and I can run without problems with static and dynamic IP on my wired network. My question is about how to avoid get a dynamic IP instead an static IP on a wired connection.

My config is very simple: Just installed OpenSuse and begin to work, so I'm NOT asking you about your system setup, I'm asking about what to do to avoid a dynamic IP in a standard installation of OpenSuse 11.2 RC2.

Is like if I ask you how to make backups on OpenOffice each 2 minutes. You will say me "You must change -this-. To do -that- you must access -here- and -here- in menu ...". Not so difficult, I think.

So, please, don't talk about "logical" or "decent" info.

THANK YOU, I read post#3 as you told me and I will give you all that info if you think is usefull in this case.

Thank you again, and sorry if I didn't make my question correctly.

Best regards

There is a lot more to the network settings than simply the IP address.
What did you enter for your hostname, netmask, gateway, and DNS servers?
Do these options match with the other machines on your network? Post the
output from the following commands:

ip addr
ip route
cat /etc/resolv.conf

Also post how you are testing your connectivity to the Internet. For
example, putting 'www.google.com' in Firefox would be one test, as would
going to a server of your own locally by IP address. Details are
important to troubleshoot properly.

Good luck.

No, I only post that to generally confuse people.

Good luck, I'm out.

MY FAULT

Title that I gave to this thread is confused. It should be "Can't get to boot with static IP on wired network".

I HAVE access to Internet, with static or dynamic IP, but I want to boot with static IP and change this situation thru KDE menus. Is it possible?

Sorry my terrible english, this must be the problem in this thread.

Best regards and THANK YOU ab
