Any errors reported?

dmesg|grep r8169

There do seem to be a lot of threads discussing similar Realtek ethernet hardware based on the quick search I just conducted - particularly around IOMMU, and also the r8168 vendor driver.

I’ll leave it to you to research further.

Thank you for your help!

There are r8168 packages available from OBS:

https://software.opensuse.org/package/r8168-kmp-default
https://software.opensuse.org/package/r8168-blacklist-r8169

If you can download these (Leap 42.3 version packages) to a memory stick then transfer to the affected machine, you should be able to install with the package manager. Then reboot.

Same Packages as from OBS are in Packman:


zypper se -s r8168 | grep -i packman
   | r8168                       | Quellpaket | 8.045.08-1.5                      | noarch | Packman Repository

But I think, therefore you have to install the latest kernel.

#25

Sweet! Thank you! I will do that and report back.

#26

Make sure you’re using the latest kernel as suaerland has advised.

#27

I installed the latest kernel and installed the 2 packages above. I can now ping other hosts on my network and I can ping my server but I can not ping anything outside my home network. What info would you like to see?

Thank you again.

#28

Ok, your NIC is now working. Now you need to switch back to

1.) DHCP

or

2.) stay with a static IP address and add a default gateway and DNS name server(s).

Probably option 1 is best for your needs. :slight_smile:

@deano_ferrari I read your mind. I just switched it back to DHCP and voila it works and I have internet.

Thank you everyone for your help.
