Internet Connection Problem

[Apello]

I have Suse 9.3 Pro, and knowing precisely how well windows has prepared me for making Linux work, I know nothing. I completed the install today, and no error messages came up, and it even recognized my USR network card. Thing is, I can't resolve, or ping, anything; barring 127.0.0.1, which pings just fine.

I don't know exactly what would be needed to diagnose the problem, but from what I saw here and there, I thought this info would be pertinent:

linux:~ # route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

linux:~ # ip address list eth0
Device "eth0" does not exist.

If it helps any, the network setup I'm trying to hook up to is 5 windows boxes, and my linux box, all hooked up into a router, running into the satellite modem, and out to the internet....

I'm completely lost, and after looking around some, I don't even know where to begin...any help would be great.

Post the output of this script and give some more detailed infos about your topology (HW type used, connections between them, IPs assigned etc etc)

[Apello]

Nothing special about the hardware, but here it is:

1Ghz AMD Athlon CPU
Diamond Stealth S60 (Radeon 7000)
Gigabyte Technologies K7 series mainboard
3 IDE hard discs, a thirty GB maxtor and two 20 GB quantum fireball's
USR 997902 Gigabit NIC (http://www.usr.com/support/product-t....asp?prod=7902)
Creative CT4832 Sound Blaster Live! value
TSSTcorp TS-H552B DVD combo drive
Intel 536EP Data fax modem
USR 56K Fax INT modem (fried from a phone surge while the comp was off, I just haven't taken it out yet)

If the keyboard and mouse matter, I'll be glad to post it, but everything is 4X AGP slots, PCI cards, U-DMA 66 (I think) HD's. The computer is 7 years old now, but with Suse on it, it out-performs my new windows box, so I'm trying to get it to work.

The exact network setup, as of now, is the satellite modem connects to a router, which connects to a switch, which runs a wire to each room of the house. In my room, that wire plugs into a Link-Max LM-205 switch, which plugs into my windows box, and the suse box.

IP's 192.168.1.3, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 20 are all the computers in the house, but I do have an X-box, so it floats around some. The IP block we use is only from 1 to 20, to try to help the sat go a little faster. 192.168.1.1 is the router, and 192.168.0.1 is the satellite modem. (yes, I know that some of the IP hosts down below are wrong, I'm changing them as I'm typing)

I did follow http://tweakhound.com/linux/samba/page_1.htm this mod to try and help samba work, so I could access the network, but to no avail...

the output of the script:

--- Hi. I'm an experimental version of NWEliza and try to help you to solve your network problem.
--- I'm now analyzing the data which was collected right now.

The system can't ping an external IP address.
There is no default gateway set on your system
The system can't resolve an external DNS name.
Check your nameserver definition

I just added the experimental NWEliza component yesterday - and both most
commonly problems I added in this component - apply to your config.

Just add a default GW and also a nameserver with yast first.

But that's not the main problem you have: Your ethernet card is not detected by Linux.

** ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

TX packets:260 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:16593 (16.2 Kb) TX bytes:16593 (16.2 Kb)

Unfortunately I'm not experienced in these kinds of problems. Try to search the net for your NIC card ID and Linux.

Actually NWEliza should have tested for a valid eth connection first ... I'll check this in the next version of my script.
