Hi all,
From home, my opensuse cannot connect to internet. I use the ATT DSL.
In my laptop, I have one wireless adapter and one Ethernet.
When I use /sbin/route -n to see—
it only pick up the wireless one. it is not working.
I want the system to pick up the eth0.
When I tried from my company, it worked.
It picked up the etho.
How can I fix this so that I can connect to internet from home
Thanks,
Lily
Hi Lily,
If you execute the following command as root, what do you see?
# ifconfig
If you don’t see eth0 in there, it may be that the driver for your Ethernet card is not loading properly. Run the following command as root and see what your system is detecting.
# hwinfo --network
You should at least see your Ethernet card there. From there, I would look what hwinfo says for the driver of the card. For instance, hwinfo tells me that my Ethernet card is using the driver e1000e.
Next, run the following command as root and check if any errors come up concerning the driver.
# dmesg | less
Start with that and let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Jeff Shantz

Do you have the correct (or any) DNS (nameserver) entries in:
/etc/resolv.conf
It may be that at home you are not getting the DNS set properly.
See if you can ping google by IP
ping -c 5 74.125.45.100

I found out when i put the cable into the ethernet jack,
no light is flashing. Normally it should flash.
The network sevrices showing the ethernet is not connected.
But actally it is put in there correctly.
If i shutdown and boot my laptopn into windows, the networking is working fine.

When you are at work are you connecting via wlan0 or eth0?
Are you using DHCP on your wlan0 ?
