I have installed OpenSuse 11.4 as a Virtual Machine in VMware Fusion. The network mode is in NAT. I am not able to browse the internet. I can able to ping the url in terminal. I guess firewall is blocking. Please help me how to resolve this problem. I am new to OpenSuse.
Please hold on a reply until I move this to the proper forum.
Thank You,
I used a bridged setup in VirtualBox and it works just fine,. Why not try that kind of network setup?
Thank You,

Notice that 11.4 is not supported any more, except by the evergreen
project. You should use a more recent version.
That may be unrelated to your problem.

You did not warn nntp users in the old forum before the move, and now
there is a lone post of me

openSUSE’s firewall is an ingress firewall, not an egress firewall.
IOW, it won’t block outbound traffic, only inbound traffic.
If you can ping by DNS name, then it’s not network-level, so it may be
another firewall between you and the 'net.
(Note that you can’t technically ping a URL - ping uses DNS resolution or
an IP address, not a URL)
Can you telnet to the address on port 80?
telnet dns.name.here 80
If you get no response, that means it connected, and you can try:
GET //
and see if you get HTML back.

Jim, the thread was moved, without telling nntp users. It is now in the
virtualization forum.

More: my post on this thread has been deleted on the http side. Yours
shows as a new post in an empty thread.

Can please moderators reach a consensus on how to move threads without
disrupting nntp?

It is what it is, Carlos - please don’t make the problem worse by continuing to reply in the thread in the old location.
I’ve moved everything to the virtualization forum now and merged the threads.
I have tried in bridge mode but same issue.
Tell us of your host network setup that is working. I read where Wireless can be a problem for a guest in VMWare. Have you gotten ANY guest VM to work on your network? Have you ever tried anything else besides VMWare? Have you posed this question in a VMWare forum by chance?
Thank You,
