Please help? I have a fresh install of openSUSE 11.1 with all the servers installed. It will not access the internet. I wanted to test accessing the internet before i setup with samba, apache, ftp. The internet worked during install because i downloaded and installed mono for apache2. the server gets an ip address.
here are the specs if it helps:
ASUS P4c800-e Deluxe Motherboard
P4 3.0GHz Hyper threaded CPU Socket 478
2GB Ram
ASUS 52x CD-rom
Sony CD-RW/DVD-ROM
PNY nVIDIA FX5200 GPU
2 40GB HDD on raid0 = 80GB
One 120GB HDD
one 160GB HDD
Please help i have 4 days to complete before the boss says i am not head of the it dept.
You say it will not access the internet. That would mean you can e.g. not use a webbrowser (FF, Konqueror) to an internet address like forums.opensuse.org.
But then you say you will use server software like apache. This type of software will not connect to the Internet, by you may want connection **from **the Internet to your server software.
Big difference when e.g. the configuration of your firewall or of the firewall in your router are to be done correct.
Questions:
do you have network connection at all (to other systems in the LAN, at least to your router)?
when yes, can you access Internet servers (using FF, etc.)?
now you can contemplate on incomming traffic and look to the config of your router, etc.
I can not see other computers/routers/switches etc. I have an ip address of 192.168.1.76 from the router. This server is going to be a workstation/server so i installed KDE 4.1. So that means i need to be able to come in and go out. yes i disabled the firewall.
ifconfig
I cannot ping anything except 127.0.0.1 the loopback. If i try to access it from another machine. i get an error. when i go into the router from another machine the router sees it and listed the dhcp ip address. the last server i built for myself i had to disable dhcp6 inorder to get out to the internet. so i tried that with this one installed same as mine no internet so i disabled dhcp6 with no luck. the internet quit working at the configuration part of the install when it gets to the step check for updates and check internet. it would not work then.
Download this script and execute it. This will analyze your network config and create warning or error messages which help to solve the problem on your own. Otherwise post the summary file created which has a lot of details about your network and will help us to help you
B) Why are there two interafces (br0 and eth0) not only in the same subnet but also with the same IP?
C) If that bridge is really needed (I doubt it), then there is only one physical interface it could be “bridged to”. You do know, that this interface will not be available as a “normal” interface any longer?
In any case, execute the script mentioned above, maybe then one can see how to clean up this mess.
Thanks that work great. i never gave that bridge a thought. on my home server i have sun virtual machine installed with no problems. i guess i should of went with my gut never heard of it don’t install it.
