Hi all,
I've recently installed suse 8 pro on my machine and am having
difficulty accessing the internet. I am trying to connect using a
terayon cable modem (service provider: ntlworld) through a Via-rhine
based ethernet card, direct link, no hubs or stuff.
I've been able to determine that my ethernet card works (using the
ifconfig command) -i hope at least! ;-) I setup my respective addresses
in the suse config menu (name servers), i clicked the DHCP option with
the hope that it should configure its self. But still no luck..
I had a look on the net and found that i must get my ethernet card to
address my cable modem, then get the modem to 'send' out the data to my
service provider. It seems at the moment the ethernet card can't see the
modem on the other side of the cable. I know the modems MAC address, but
not its IP address so i cant ping it.
My ethernet card is setup to operate in half duplex, as i this was what
i was told todo on the web tutorial.
Is there anything else that i can do to try and get this to work?
Cheers,
Steve.
