Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up my server as a LAMP and FTP however every time I get some progress done I lose the internet connection when I switch the server off and boot up again.
On boot this error prompt is displayed
*
repo-non-oss: Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)*
Network overview looks normal to me
NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (Not connected)
MAC : XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
• Device Name: eth0
• Started automatically at boot
• IP address assigned using DHCP
This issue has happened to me about three times before and I was forced to format the server. Can anyone tell me what to do. I am using a router which is connected into a PC which has an internet connectivity but the server does not, even though it’s all plugged in correctly. I’m not sure what’s happen to cause the lack of internet connectivity, even the Pigeon IM does not work.
Make sure dhcp port are open in your firewall. I believe they are ports 67,68. It’s possible your dhcp lease is expiring and if the ports aren’t open the lease can’t renew.
I went into
Yast> Firewall
I navigated the options menu but was unable to find any DHCP or port settings, in fact my firewall was disabled until now.

Can you launch the network manually? If so, you could, as a workaround, add a
@reboot /etc/init.d/rcnetwork restart
or something like that to root’s crontab.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand this
@reboot /etc/init.d/rcnetwork restart
Can you show me the path to go like Computer> Yast> Modem or Firewall etc.
Reboot the server, don’t reconfigure the NIC.
Open a console, become root by typing “su”, then
rcnetwork restart
Does the network come up now?
