Internet/Network not working on Open Suse 11.2 KDE

English Network/Internet
1

Hi
Just recently installed Opensuse 11.2 in a KDE environment. The problem I am facing is that when I connect it to my network either via wired or wirless neither getting internet or access to the network although the network manager shows the connection as active
I am using a Dlink Di-524 Wireless Router at home
The Wirless router for the computer is Broadcom BCM 4312
Was able to install the drivers for this from the packman repository

Also when I connect my laptop directly to the internet connection via wired it is working fine. However if i connect it to my wireless router either over wifi or thru wired it just shows connected but i can neither access internet or other computers on the network.
Have checked the wireless router other computers (windows and ubuntu are being able to access the internet via it)
Results of my ifconfig-a command when i am connected over my wirless connection

Your DNS entries may not have been updated.

/sbin/route
cat /etc/resolv.conf

I suggest you try after updating the machine with the latest updates since you can connect via wired connection.

If you type into the configuration for the wireless connection the following information, it often, ver often solves this sort of problem:

  • the IP address of the “gateway” (e.g. of the router)
  • the IP addresses of Name Servers (e.g. provided by your ISP or google provides 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4)

Hi
It worked out by changing the nameservers in the resolv.conf file
Thanks for your help
