I run suse 11.0 as a fileserver on a network of 10 windows boxes. they all access the server and I force the user=someone so access over read/write issues are avoided. I also share an internet connection (via cable modem) to other machines.
eth0=bonded IP (cable modem)
eth1=192.18.0.2 (network)
Yesterday an artist at the studio came in and changed both the network settings to DHCP. Now my entire network is offline and I can’t even ping them from the server. What happened?
Can anyone help me get back on my feet? I changed back to my default setting but it doesnt work?
I must be missing something… why not just set your IP addresses back
the way they were? If you do not have a DHCP server working (for example,
if this server is the DHCP server) then the server set to DHCP won’t get
an IP address and instead it will probably default to 169.x.x.x which will
not be reachable from other machines, and it will not be able to reach
other machines. Post the output from the following commands on your server:
ip addr sh
ip route sh
cat /etc/resolv.conf
Also can you post the network settings from one of your other machines
that access this server? I presume they will be something like
192.168.0.x (192.18 looks like a typo) with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and
a default-route/gateway of 192.168.0.2. If this is all correct just set
your server back up and next time be sure your “artists” can’t get as
creative with root privileges on your server.
Good luck.

btw I got it up and running yes! thanks y’all but I do have a situation which is why they had the password in the first place. when I start up the server, the network is functional and the files are accessible, however the internet is only accessible if
I log in as root
start network settings
(strange) change nothing but just close it
wait for the network manager applet to pop up
select the internet interface in the list
and then voila! its on and accesible!
I changed back to my default setting but it doesnt work?
