Opensuse 11 can't connet to internet through centos firewall

English Network/Internet
#1

Hello

Just installed opensuse 11 and noticed network connection does not work, on the same machine i can boot to windows and network does work with it.
Machine does have 2 network cards one to connect samba server wich is not my firewall machine it’s just another computer and it does have static ip and that samba connection works, another network card that does connect to internet wich is the one that doesen’t work.
Ifconfig eth1 shows that it does have lan ip and netmask wich seem to right 192.168.1.30/255.255.255.0

I connect to internet through centos 5.2 firewall machine like this: dsl modem -> centos box -> opensuse/windows machine.
Centos machine does have dhcp server running and connection is made through iptables configuration.
I can’t ping or make ssh connection to this centos firewall computer with opensuse.

So far i have tryed to google the prob, various network settings like static ip and service network restart gives all green done messages so no errors there.

1ste thing would be to check if dns and route table are in order (seeing you are getting a correct ip address)

If you will, post the output of
/sbin/route -n
cat /etc/resolv.conf

also any drops or errors listed in the ifconfig output?

Cheers,
Wj

#route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw centos 5.2 lan ip address

#5

yep, seems the default route is missing.
I’ve seen this happen sometimes when switching from DHCP to static ip back to DHCP. Clearing out the nic configuration and reconfiguring usually sorts this…

#6

Ok now i get this.

su -
route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.1.x
SIOCADDRT: No such process

#7

There’s a special syntax for the default gateway:

route add default gw x.x.x.x

This is in route’s man page.

Thank you folks now i know it’s something with route.
