Can't connect to the Internet via router using fixed IP

English Network/Internet
#1

I’m having problems connecting to the Internet with YaST ifup or Network Manager using a fixed IP. I can only connect using DHCP. Could someone please point me to a tutorial for either method. The router is a Linksys BEFSR41 running on a wire.

Thanks.

Can you ping the router successfully? Have you specified a name server? Check/report the following

ip addr

ip route

grep -i "nameserver" /etc/resolv.conf

Thank you for the speedy response.

You haven’t configured a gateway (default route).
