Note your router IP address, it is on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet. Google for the term subnet to understand the significance > and the Netgear Install Wizard does NOT Start. Is this wizard on the router firmware? If it is from a CD, either from Netgear or your ISP, put it to one side and ignore it, you do not need it and you will only get grief by attempting to use it > > I have openSuSE 10.2 installed on my stand-alone PC > > my ethernet card is : 192.168.1.10, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway > 192.168.1.254 (the default address of the Speedtouch ADSL ModemST536i Not your ethernet card IP address, it is on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. You will only be able to ping the router if they are on the same subnet, or if you have a route to the router via another router which is itself pingable. In short change the address of this card to be on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
