Hi community,
I have Win7 and Win8 on my home computer which has never given any bother connecting to the 'net. I have previously had installed on other drives and partitions, Bohdi, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Mint, SuSe12.1, among others. I have not had any problems until I tried 12.1, now up to 13.1 - everything was automatic and work seamlessly. It is very disappointing to install SuSe to find no Internet connection and to have no guidance at all when installing. I have had to plug in my win7 drive to access this forum so that I can persevere. It is very annoying when time is at a premium and does not reflect well on SuSe to anyone wanting to try it who gets these problems. I had messages telling me to check my firewall, check the proxy settings, but having now logged in to windows how can I check anything in Linux if there is no access to assistance? Any comments and advice would be much appreciated as I would love to run this fine distro having seen it in action previously.
Cheers to all,
Esshbee
open a terminal and paste in this:
/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net
Then copy the results back here. Of course you may have to save it to a file to do this as you will have to boot to windows

You could, in Linux, do this in a terminal:
/sbin/ifconfig
/sbin/route
cat /etc/resolv.conf | egrep -v "^:space:]]*$|^#"
If the last line is too complex, just do
cat /etc/resolv.conf | egrep -v "^:space:]]*$|^#"
Copy it all into a file with an editor, and then use Windows to access
the forum and paste it here, so that we can see it and advise. You
might, in windows, open a shell and run “ipconfig”, and paste it as
well, so that we can compare.
