I have IP address via DHCP but no connection, very odd

English Network/Internet

Hi,

I’ve just installed opensuse 11.2 with the network installation iso. During the installation, it has got the IP via DHCP without any problem, and I has downloaded all the needed packets without problems… But when the installation finish… I have no network connection :’(

It’s strange, because I have IP address, I get the IP from the DHCP server, and I can see the IP addreess if I do “ifconfig”, the default route and even the DNS servers in the resolv.conf file; but I cannot ping my gateway (that is the DHCP server as well!!), I cannot ping anything in my network and either anything in internet.

I see a network error at the start, but it finally gets the ip address. what could be the problem?

In the dmesg, the last message repeats over and over. The machine is a Hyper-V virtual machine, but as I said… I worked very well during the installation, I don’t know what is going on. I’ve tried to reinstall, but it doesn’t make any difference :’(

Hi
Try deleting the resolv.conf and restart the network(or reboot)


sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo /sbin/rcnetwork restart

Please, post the result of:
sudo /usr/sbin/iptables -L

and do you really need ipv6 in eth0?
