I installed a copy of opensuse on my server after Microsoft safety scanner messed up windows. I need help getting wireless working. Oh, I am not using 12.1 because of postfix not working correctly for me. My router is link sys WRT54G. The server system connects fine. It just doesn’t ping anything correctly.

Is routine set correctly? What does ‘/sbin/route -n’ show?

Are you trying to use eth0 or eth1? The routing above will only work for eth1.
eth1 is the dev device I am trying to use. It does connect to the router. It is just not routing and connecting to the internet. Nor is it able to ping the router or other devices.

Disable eth0 to see if that helps, since you’re not trying to use it anyway.
Also, what do the following show:
ip addr
ip -s link
Good luck.

Sorry, I had to get a SD card out to transfer all that output. I didn’t want to retype it all 
Ok, Static says Destination host unreachable. And DHCP which i just tried says: Network is unreachable. - I would prefer Static since that is how i can keep the IP the same and not have it constantly changing…
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Can you post the output of the commands when doing DHCP vs. static?
Include the output of ip route as well. That the messages change
tells me the settings change; in theory the settings (other than how
they were set, meaning statically (by you) vs. dynamically (DHCP))
should be the same. ‘Destination host unreachable’ means a box couldn’t
be found. ‘Network is unreachable’ means a packet couldn’t get to the
right network. My guess is that your IPs are wrong, or else the
wireless layer is wrong. Maybe the output from /usr/sbin/iwconfig eth1 would also help since you mentioned this is wireless.
Good luck.

So… your DHCP service did not send out a default gateway? That’d be
bad, of course, for anything off of the network. That you do not have
any routes other than the localhost route makes me think your box did
not even get an IP address when using DHCP since if you had an IP
address you should at least have a route to that network, plus
preferably a default route to the rest of the world.
Do any other boxes exist on this network? Do they work?
Good luck.

Ok, i got it working somehow. I’ll try and backtrace my steps but, I think it was that i had it set to passphrase instead of hexadecimal. I did a few other changes. But I’m not testing anything. So, I think thats what it was.
The network is WEP. Thats when i looked at what it was set at. Last time, my network was WPA. So, i didn’t have a issue like this. I do believe the issue is resolved. I am able to ping google. And the router.
