I have problems connecting my computer via LAN through a vodastation router to the internet. The vodastation works (I am sending this message through its WLAN-access channel). Here are my settings for the network/LAN with the following subsections:
global: Wicked service; hostname=AUTO; standard route via DHCP
I can ping ip addresses in standard format (8.8.8.8 and 192.160.1). I cannot ping an addresses in htlm-format (www.google.com).
I checked the LAN settings of the vodastation, again. It offers two names which I interpreted as being host names: TL-WR802N and linux-zz0-99.
When I use the second as hostname in YAST’s netork settings, it asks for a domain name. Since my computer is not part of a domain, .I’m at loss.
With the second I can enter any name as a domain name, but I still don’ get connected, properly.
Another thing is that you were asked to execute some commands. The idea behind this is that you not only do so, but that you then post here waht you see on the terminal by copy/paste of the complete action. That is the prompt-command line, all output and including the new prompt line. You paste that between CODE tags in your post.
An example is here: Using CODE tags Around your paste.
And when for some reason you do not want or can not provide this, then please say so. As you did now, there was no output at all provided by you, only some story about your conclusions. To be honest, many people her do not trust stories, they only trust the raw computer output.
Sorry, but you missed the idea of the CODE tags. I will try to tell you a second time.
There is an important, but not easy to find feature on the forums.
Please in the future use CODE tags around copied/pasted computer text in a post. It is the # button in the tool bar of the post editor. When applicable copy/paste complete, that is including the prompt, the command, the output and the next prompt.
I could not remove /etc/resolv.conf as root. The system response was that I was not authorized even though ‘whoami’ told me that was indeed root.
Here are the contents of the file:
###### /etc/resolv.conf file autogenerated by netconfig!
#
# Before you change this file manually, consider to define the
# static DNS configuration using the following variables in the
# /etc/sysconfig/network/config file:
# NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST
# NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS
# NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER
# or disable DNS configuration updates via netconfig by setting:
# NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=''
#
# See also the netconfig(8) manual page and other documentation.
#
# Note: Manual change of this file disables netconfig too, but
# may get lost when this file contains comments or empty lines
# only, the netconfig settings are same with settings in this
# file and in case of a "netconfig update -f" call.
# Please remove (at least) this line when you modify the file!
Ok, I forgot that can not copy/paste because you have no connection to the forums.
But it was four (4) days ago and we are doing other things here with other threads all the time, am=nd n=maybe do not read whole threads all the time from the very beginning. again and again.
BTW, can you wotk with the forums using 195.135.221.161 in your browser?
First of all thank you! I did as you told. Being a computer professional all my life I should not have trusted screen commands but use the console. So, after I had typed in your suggested commands I could not resist and reboot. Wow, everything worked. I include the results of your commands, below.
