[SLUG] Network

[Phil Kershaw]

Pete,

I'm not sure about suse but on redhat the config files are at 
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices

I have 2 nics on my machine and in the above directory I have 2 files.
Ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1.

Ip address netmask etc is set in those.

Can you do a search and find similar files for suse.

Hope this helps a bit.

Phil Kershaw

Hi all
I'm struggling to get two computers in the same room to talk to each 
other. Both have ethernet cards, both computers connected by network 
cable, both machines running SuSE 9.1.
I was reading the other week that all that was needed was to give both 
machines a static IP address and then log in to that address. I am 
missing something? SuSE reports that the network cards are configured as

DHCP and therefore require a DHCP server. Follow instructions to set up 
server, click button to start server - message "Error, server cannot be 
started." Try the NFS route, same result. I can't find any way in SuSE 
to configure as static IP. As soon as I try to set up a server on either

machine they hang on bootup with the message "No network found". Any
suggestions?
