No network during installation and after

English Network/Internet
1

Hi,
I have a problem with openSUSE 13.2.
Network is not working from the installation. I could not make the installation with the NET image, I had to use the DVD image.
After installation, I cannot make network working.

I have run the command:

wicked ifstatus all

and got the following:

lo up
link: #1, state up
type: loopback
config: compat:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo
leases: ipv4 static granted
leases: ipv6 static granted
addr: ipv4 127.0.0.1/8 [static]
addr: ipv6 ::1/128 [static]

em1 setup-in-progress
link: #2, state up, mtu 1500
type: ethernet, hwaddr 64:00:6a:5a:26:35
config: compat:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-em1
leases: ipv4 dhcp requesting
leases: ipv6 dhcp requesting

The file ‘/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-em1’ contains:

BOOTPROTO=‘dhcp’
BROADCAST=’’
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=’’
IPADDR=’’
MTU=’’
NAME=‘Ethernet Connection I217-LM’
NETWORK=’’
REMOTE_IPADDR=’’
STARTMODE=‘auto’
PREFIXLEN=‘24’

and the file ‘/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo’ contains:

Loopback (lo) configuration

IPADDR=127.0.0.1/8
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
STARTMODE=nfsroot
BOOTPROTO=static
USERCONTROL=no
FIREWALL=no

Any suggestion?

I can try any test, check, or look into files that may help, but I nor expert.
Thanks in advance for your help

Do you have DHCP server on your network?

In the network settings is selected ‘Change Defoult Route via DHCP’
But do I need to have installed a DHCP server?

Your interface is configured to get settings from DHCP server, so yes, you need DHCP server. Not on your system - but elsewhere. Often devices installed by your Internet provider have DHCP server functionality.

If you do not have DHCP server you need to configure all parameters statically, but then you also need to know them - IP address, default gateway, DNS servers.

I checked the router and it gives a DHCP server ip

Hi forum,
I have not yet solved the problem.
Any suggestion, any check to do to find out what may be the problem.
Thanks

You have not yet answered the question - do you have DHCP server on your network. If not, reconfigure your network to use fixed static values instead of using DHCP.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
I imagine that I have DHCP server on my network because openSUSE 13.2 in my old computer works well with DHCP.
In the new computer, were network is not working with openSUSE 13.2, network is working in Windows.

Hi,
In addition, in the router I can read 'DHCP server on"

On the other hand, if I try to configure all parameters statically, which IP address do I need to provide, the one given by the interenet service provider to my router or the one the router gives to the computer?
