Set static ip adress wicked

English Network/Internet
1

Hi,

I have been reading my eyes sore to find an easy howto for setting up static ipadress in Tumbleweed. I think I have put the right things in the right box in the yast module for network connections, and it seems to work fine in my private network, but I cannot get out to the Internett. I have found the nameserver adresses for my supplyer, and my router are set upp to handle this, but something is missing in my knowledge here.

I have filled out two external nameservers , but I haven’t found out what to put in the box for domaine search list.

Can someone give me an advice on this?

If you can reach the LAN but not the internet, check that your gateway (router) address is defined. If necessary, share the details in ‘/etc/sysconfig/network.ifcfg-…’ (eg ifcfg-eth0). That will help others advise further.

These can help confirm the situation too

ip addr

ip route

The gateway/route is missing. Where do I put it in then yast module?

Configure via Network settings > Routing

This openSUSE guide may be of help to you (it’s for Leap but still applicable to TW as well)

It did the trick. Thanx. The reference book is also a good partner when the problems surface.

Well, checking the tabs available there might give you ideas about what to configure where.

IMHO it pays when one walks through the different screens/tabs of a tool to see what it can do for you. And the ssecral YaST modules are an excelent example of this behaviour.
