Hello Experts! - I am not!
Maybe you can help me
Running
SUSE Enterprise Linux server 15 -SP-3
Logged in as root
I don’t know how this happen but I powered down my Server believing that I was not going to need it anymore due to the company taking everything to the cloud.
It turns out that that server has a lot of email history that they need now! (GroupWise email Server)
When I started the server back up I had NO connectivity.
Before you ask … Checked all connections and cables.
At the console if I type ping 192.168.1.5 it returns Network is unreachable.
**===>>**After setting all of these in YAST and saving I still have NO ping. (See all setting in YAST at the bottom of the page)
At the console, I then tried this:
ip a add 192.168.1.5/24 dev eth0
Now at the console I could ping the servers static address - Great!
Now I will add the Gateway
ip route add default via 192.168.1.141
It takes it no errors - Great
Now to bring the Interface up.
ip link set dev eth0 up
It takes it no errors - Great
I then try to ping Google ping 8.8.8.8
zero… Not so Great
NOTE: The Ethernet port left light is green but no blinking on the right
Okay I have tried a lot of other stuff, shed a few tears, losing my hair and my mind!!
Any help and advice would be much appreciated.
Thank You
Jim
