Hi,
I face an Internet connection failure from my OpenSuse 11.2… All began with the tentative of installing a VPN connection, using KVpnc (which bugged), vpnc and the Network manager. I made several attempts, which all failed and probably messed something along the way. I assume that it is not a big issue; my eth0 and wlan are apparently functional (I get connection with the router; with both media), but still I cannot get connected to the web (firefox, thunderbird skype and all others show me that the connection is not working). I outline that the router is OK, both in ethernet and wireless; I write this post from my windows partition.
As a starting point, I post the results of ifconfig and dhclient eth0:

Any suggestions are welcome, thank you in advance for your help,
More specifically, knowing where to search would be a very good starting point for me (i.e. config files that matter, YAST panels that can be helpfull, etc).
