Originally, i had tried to run Gnome on Live Dvd, and I could ping google.com and others, but my browsers could not find the servers.
Then I installed openSUSE 11.4 and now it is even worse; ping is unsuccessful, even when specifying the ip number.
I connected with ethernet wire, but it didn’t help. My other computers connect fine, both wirelessly and with ethernet cable.
How do I trouble shoot this problem?
Post the result of
/sbin/lspci -nnk
Hi

bye

A driver is in place
And it would be very strange for it not to work.
I don’t see any wireless. Is it by any chance a USB device?
Are you using a standard network, nothing odd (like a Proxy / University / Campus??)
I tried switching to Yast, but I didn’t know how to use it, so I switched back. Then I restarted. Now I have internet, but no DNS. I’ll start a new thread: No DNS. Thanks for your help so far, caf and jluce.
Try switching from DHCP and try using Google’s free offering 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
hi
for yast
in a term put this command line :
sudo /sbin/yast
Network devices -->Network settings–>global options–>traditional methode whith ifup
after taking this option edit the network card config with yast and takes dhcp
after that do a /etc/init.d/network restart
for the DNS i’m not a google fan, i prefere opendns
if it can help
bye
