Hi installed openSUSE 11.3 and round that both wireless and ethernet connections could connect ok to my router but couldnt access the internet. I think its a bug because I didn’t have this issue in previous versions of openSUSE.
The solution is to go into the ip settings in the wireless configuration, select the option to manually assign ddresses (not DCHP) and
enter the ip address of your router in the default gateway and DNS server addresses
manually assign an ip address to your computer rather than have the router do it - it has to be in the same range as your router -n normally 192.168.1.x where x can be any number not already used.
It seems slightly unlikely that, in all cases, OpenSUSE 11.3 fails to ever
connect automatically to the Internet though other networking works. Just
to make sure we at least have a good bug report, what are the network
settings when using DHCP vs. when setting them manually? Post the output
from the following commands from each situation:
ip addr
ip route
cat /etc/resolv.conf
Also, how are you testing the connection in each case? TCP? ICMP? Using
IP addresses or also DNS?
Good luck.
