openSUSE 13.1 network config

English Network/Internet
21

Hi!
Has anyone solved this out without making a clean installation?
Windor$ is the SO which only can be fixed with clean reinstalling lol :wink:

I’ve had the same problem with at least 3 machines already, always the same:
upgrading from dvd from 12.3 to 13.1 and IP set itself … no mater what I do, what I config, with yast, or editing files when machines reboot it takes the IP (the no configed IP)

with the command:

ifconfig eth0 x.y.z.21

it does set the IP working until the next boot.

any help will be welcome.

saludos,
Nicolás.

This file simply doesn’t exist.
Clean install, openSUSE 13.1.

If can be quite major if other machines can not connect to it because
the destination machine IP has changed!

I tried to use the command yast2network but the terminal window says absolute path to yast2 is /sbin/yast2so running it may require superuser privileges? What does that mean? Anyway I tried to connect Opensuse 13.1 to network

26

It means you need to run as root

su -

then

yast2 network

Thx

However, there is another thing. I launched the network card and it shows me Atheros WLAN controller (not configured) and RTL811/8168BPCI EXpress Gigabit Ethernet controller (not configured). Then there is device not configured > edit. After that it asks IP adress? Do I need to give it? I don`t think I even know it.

Select ‘Automatic Address Setup (DHCP)’

This guide might be helpful to you

Ok…https://forums.opensuse.org/images/icons/icon7.png Now I selected automatic address setup (DHCP) still not connected. I still need to configure the network card? I don`t know if my network card is PCMCIA or USB device (otherwise select your network card card model from select from list?)

So I`m not sure if I need to configure the modem too? It was quite difficult when I tried I was asked network providers etc.

Not unless you really have a modem…
