unable to connect

English Network/Internet
#1

hi everybody!!!

i’m new in opensuse (so sorry for my stupid questions, and sorry for my bad english)…

i’ve a wireless connection that works well with win xp, but i can’t connect when i use opensuse.
i had the same problem when i tried ubuntu and i solved it typing in terminal

sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf

and adding these three commands in the gedit file that appeared.

net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0

does anybody can tell me how can i do a similar thing in opensuse?
(i’ve just installed the 11.1 gnome version)

thanks

And why do you think there would be a difference here?

The file /etc/sysctl.conf is also there, so start your favorite text editor as root and go ahead.

#3

when i type

sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf

i have back this answer

(gedit:4332):Gtk -WARNING **: cannot open display

:frowning:

Then use “su” or “su -” instead of this *Bunti-stuff.

P.S.

You are in Runlevel 5 (aka “the GUI”), are you?

#5

use this:

gnomesu gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
#6

thanks everybody!!!

now i can use internet!!!:slight_smile:

i typed in terminal

gnomesu gedit /etc/sysctl.conf

and then i added these three lines in the gedit file that appeared

net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0

i hope it can be useful to somebody else!!

thanks again (and sorry for my bad english too)
