Hi Peter, Have you tried to setup static address for your connection? This will either solve your problem or make possible to cut and paste text direct from Linux box to continue DHCP troubleshooting :-) You need some local address that is not used by router as DHCP range. By now all routers, that I have configured, don't use range between 192.168.x.201 and 192.168.x.254. The default route is your router 192.168.1.1 (I guess). The name server is the same as default route. Subnet Mask is usually 255.255.255.0 In YaST -- Network Devices -- Network Card use for this time Traditional Method with ifup. In Network Address Setup window mark: x Static Address Setup IP Address <some from range above 192.168.1.201 and 192.168.1.254> Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Click on Host and Name Server. It will pop up the window with warning, click on Modify. For now leave Hostname and Domain Name fields unchanged. Name Server 1 is <you-router IP> for instance 192.168.1.1 and you don't need any other entry on local network, router is taking care of that. Click OK. Now you have to configure Routing that is hidden under the same name button. Enter in the field Default Gateway <you-router IP> ie. 192.168.1.1 Click OK. Click Next and Finish. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
