“www.google.com” can’t be used for testing, it’s always configured to display a webpage installed locally and doesn’t test your network.
Run the following, and if you have problems interpreting results, copy and paste the results in a new post for others to comment on.
You need to run common networking tools to determine if you have any working networking at all, such as to see if a network interface is even enabled, and if so if it is configured with a working address.
ip address
If the above returns valid information, then display your nameservers
cat /etc/resolv.conf
If you run into any problems with what is displayed above, then fix or post results.
And, of course the above mainly tests for software issues. Always verify that your hardware is working as well, if wireless then make sure a switch or button enables the radio. If wired, then inspect the blinking or lit link lights on the network adapters, both on your machine and whatever you’re connected to.
Try this.
Use openSUSE:Tumbleweed KDE LiveDVD.
I have Dec 5.
Start in VirtualBox with bridged adapter.
This is same as it happen in my real PC.
My home router is in brigde mode, dial-up.
One PC with wire to router.
Start this in VB and try Firefox.
Don’t work for me.
I think I understand. You have a DSL modem that relies on your computer to manage a PPPoE session? If that is the case, then no you won’t get an internet connection. You could consider replacing the device with a DSL modem/router that can handle the PPPoE connectivity for you and provide you with a DHCP LAN.
Once openSUSE is installed, it can be configured to cope with this type of connection however.
Hmmm…I didn’t pay attention to the ppp0 interface in your output…
3: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN group default qlen 3
link/ppp
inet _____________ peer 172.29.252.118/32 scope global ppp0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
You don’t have an IPv4 (inet) address configured. I’d have expected something like
inet 172.29.252.86 peer 172.29.252.118/32 scope global ppp0
Did you configure this using Network Manager? Do you need to assign (ISP-provided static IP address, subnet mask, gateway) or is it automatic (DHCP assigned)?
Normally you wouldn’t edit this file directly at all. It gets managed by NetworkManager or wicked. The DNS setting(s) can be manually assigned or via DHCP depending on your configuration - none of which you’ve shared so far.
Anyway, for test purposes you could do something like
