    Unhappy No internet in any browsers Suse 11.3

    I'm unable to acces the internet trough my browsers in Suse 11.3, my router assigns me a IP and I'm able to use Skype and Transmission but not my browsers; Firefox and Opera. I've been using the network at school today, there we have manually set our own IPs but now I'm back home and back to using DHCP. And yes, i have set the ipv4 back from "manually" to DHCP.

    This is really confusing, I'm currently writing from my Arch install on the same computer. This works fine. The ifconfig output in both Suse and Arch is the exact same:

    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:5A:1B:30:AA
    inet addr:95.34.XX.XX Bcast:95.34.XX.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
    inet6 addr: fe80::223:5aff:fe1b:30aa/64 Scope:Link
    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:9045 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:9714 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
    RX bytes:6361802 (6.0 Mb) TX bytes:1748444 (1.6 Mb)
    Interrupt:17

    (Ignore the Xs in the IP)

    but i have some extra interfaces in Suse such as wireless and two Vmnets.

    Can anyone help me?

    Do you set static and dynamic through YaST or by hand?

    Also, are you taking out any manual nameservers or gateways you may have to put in at school?

    Turn off IVP6. Many ISPs can still not handle the newer protocol.

    as root

    echo “alias net-pf-10 off” >> /etc/modprobe.conf.local
    echo “alias ipv6 off” >> /etc/modprobe.conf.local

    I was using the Network manager in Gnome, the one on the taskbar. I was not using the internet at school so I did not set any name server nor gateway(This network is only for LAN).

    One more thing, I'm not able to ping any other IP on the network either. I get this error: Destination Host Unreachable. Something wrong with routing?
