While trying to install SuSE 9.1 Pro on my desktop the other night, I had a big problem connecting to the Internet.
I have a DHCP server on my router, but I've set up my Linux boxes to retain their own IP addresses: 192.168.1.110, 192.168.1.113, and 192.168.1.120, for example. When setting up networking for my new SuSE box, I put in the following: Disable the DHCP client HOST NAME: seamus DOMAIN: IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.110 SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0 DEFAULT GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1 DNS1: 206.13.31.12 DNS2: 206.13.28.12 ...which is pretty much the same setup as on my Debian box and on my FC1 box. Note that I have no entry for the DOMAIN field. Since I don't have a domain name pointing at my IP address, I've never actually put anything in that field. However, when trying to install SuSE, I can't move past the network setup screen until I put a value in there. I've tried putting in dummy values, and the values of the domains that I own (mossroot.com, stonegoose.com). I've also tried putting in the workgroup name that I use for the computers on my system that are hooked up with Samba. However, I cannot get networking to work under SuSE. My question is: have I done something wrong by not putting in a value for DOMAIN for my other computers? Or is SuSE expecting something that is inappropriate to my setup? -- Sl�inte, Richard S.
