| 825084 | 2009-10-29 00:54:00 | Hi I am trying to specify a static ip on suse 11.1 using the network utility. but after I set everything I lose Internet connectivity. My details are as follows, RTA1025W router, its' IP address 192.168.1.1 Open suse server address 192.168.1.4, xp dt pc 192.168.1.88, vista dt pc 192.168.1.99 HOSTNAME I use from the router "RTA1025W" in caps. I've tried googling for instructions on how to enter these details in suse11.1 couldn't find anything. Does anyone know a link to directions to enter this stuff that will work with suse 11.1 I've also turned off dhcp on the router THANKS IN ADVANCE! |

| 825086 | 2009-10-29 01:47:00 | I want to run a network printer of the server (file/print server). Is this the best way to do it? | andreas.hagen (15380) | ||
| 825087 | 2009-10-29 02:10:00 | Why not just leave DHCP on and point everything to the computer name rather than the IP Address? Or have the Router always assign it the same IP Address? :) DHCP means if you have mates come over, they can easily join your network without you having to manually configure their PC every time they come and leave. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 825088 | 2009-10-29 06:57:00 | Yea, I agree with Chill-just use the computer name, or see if your router supports static DHCP | Blam (54) | ||
