Hi everybody,

Recently I installed SuSE 11.3 and everything is working fine but when
I started to configure SaMBa, I had to turn firewall off: now my
workstation is visible within the current workgroup ( LAN with WinXP
workstations) but I cannot access internet. I can access the router IP
(192.168.1.254) and I can configure it. The LAMP famework is
installed in this workstation and I can access the web page I am
making from the other workstations . This happens with both Firefox
and Konqueror. Any idea?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Marco

Yes, as far as I can remember. But l am going to check it and I will
let you know.

First of all, thank you for your response.

Finally I found what I needed: [http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/
showthread.php?t=2098]

I did:

/sbin/route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.1.254 eth0

and it worked.

I post the reference and the solution for anyone else in the same
situation.
But, I noted that internet is kind of 's l o w ', is it normal?

Best regards,

Marco

That works until you restart the computer.
You should really update the values in "Network Settings" in YaST. Not
only the gateway value but the DNS servers as well. It will also set up
your system to correctly load the network configuration at startup.

How do you measure "s l o w"?

If you click on link and takes more than 30 seconds to display it,
while in another machine in the same network takes less than 2
seconds.
And when issuing
.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
#> route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0

last line takes about 10 seconds to appear.
