okay heres what i need to know… how do i set up a static ip with ifup on openSUSE 11.3 with this information… ip 192.168.1.254 mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.254 router ip 192.168.1.1 dns 192.168.1.254 and sry for my bad typing

If you are using ifup then you need to edit the config file located and named:

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ethX where X = 0 or 1 or what ever the number is of the network connection you want to modify. Lets say it is the first network called eth0. I would edit the file with the KDE menu Run Command:

kdesu kwrite /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0

Here is what it looked like before I did any editing. Remember you will be using your file, not mine.

BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
BROADCAST=''
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
IPADDR=''
MTU=''
NAME='RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller'
NETMASK=''
NETWORK=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='auto'
USERCONTROL='no

Here it is after making the changes you requested:

ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
NAME='RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.1.254
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
#
# The following settings are optional
#
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
NETWORK=192.168.1.0

After any changes you must reboot your computer for the new network settings to take affect.

This statement does not make sense to me with router = 192.168.1.1:

ip 192.168.1.254, gateway 192.168.1.254 & dns 192.168.1.254
But perhaps this will get you in the right direction. Save your old file just in case you mess it up.

Thank You,

For all video problems, you need to read the following document.

SDB:Configuring graphics cards - openSUSE

When you start openSUSE and you are in the grub menu, you have the option to type in a command, for the kernel to use during the default 8 second delay. Try typing in the command:

nomodeset

And then enter to see what affect, if any that might have.

Thank You,
