I am new to linux and I would like to know if anyone knows what i should do because my internet in Suse10 doesn’t work.
When i tried to configure my network card the first time there was a card already on the list. But the internet hadn’t been connected so i thought it would work once it got connected, and i left it alone. Only it didn’t. work
I wiped my computer off so i could install it again thinking if i did the internet configuration during the install it would work.
So i installed SUSE again and it skipped the internet connection check without my telling it to.
My computer is connected to a Netgear router which works when i use windows but not when i use SUSE. (dual boot)
The internet still doesn’t work on it and my network card (Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet) isn’t on the list when i go to configure my network
I have tried to do the command “/etc/init.d/networks start”
As well as “dhcp up”
I was told they would work but they’re not valid commands.
Exact same problem here with a D-Link DSL-G624T Routeur. No internet at all and setup through Network Manager doesn’t help.
Now I managed to make OpenSuse activate the network but the browser just never loads the pages.
Any idea ? I’m running Suse 11.
Sorry to ask this here but as it seems we have similar problems, I thought it was a good opportunity not to flood the board with newbie questions…

You really need to see the card under YaST–>Network Devices → Network Card
to get it configured.
You said this is “Suse10”. If it is SLED/SLES 10 I would suggest you post in
the relevant section of the novel forums: http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/suse-linux-enterprise-desktop-sled/
or http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/suse-linux-enterprise-server-sles/
On the other hand, if this is Opensuse 10.x, you might try the repair facility
on the install DVD to see if you can detect the card.
