    Unhappy cannot get internet access on SUSE11.3

    When I tried to install OpenSUSE 11.4, my cable was plugged in and the system could not detect the network connection. I used the default network settings except disabling IPV6 in Yast.

    I then used the compound "ip a s eth0", however, there is no IP address assigned to it. I don't know why I cannot post the outpout here.

    I then tried to re-install Opensuse 11.3 (32bit) and Opensuse 11.1 (64bit) which is the one my colleague incorrectly installed on our 32 bit machine). The same thing with those two versions.

    Any clue what is wrong here?Thanks for your help! I am new to Linux, so I may made stupid mistakes here.

    It may depends on your ISP (Internet Servuce Provider) connection settings. So, you should know your "valid" connection options (e.g. DHCP/static IP, netmask, gateway, etc.) and just setup it correctly before starting Suse installation.

    Thanks! My problem has been fixed. They require the static IP for internet access.
