How to setup data1 account in suse linux.

[Satissh S]

I had to reinstall suse 9.3 recently, and i forgot the way the service person installed the data1 account in linux. Iam fluent in yasting..
I followed the following steps:
1. alt+f2 --> yast2
2. Networking --> network devices.
3. My ip address ---> 192.168.1.100
and the other was auto detected. 255.255.255.0
I dunno abt networking and how to get my data1 acct working in yast?... plz help me, I need to install drivers. :roll:

First of all please tell where did u got suse 9.3.
Ok I dont think SUSe 9.3 need any drivers, as it has all the latest stuph!
Neways I am on FC4 and didnt do much to get my ethernet up!
All I did was go to networking option created a new internet account with ethernet.

I got Suse From Here www.roseindia.net
I does not contain all the drivers. *period*
My ethernet connection was autodetected. But what else should i have to configure.
I'll be greatful if some1 can explain abt protocols and ip addresses.

i think you wont need drivers. I havent configured DataOne on SuSE(i havent worked on SuSE for ages). try the following config.

IP: 192.168.1.2 (or 192.168.1.100)
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1

You may need to append the following lines to /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 61.1.96.69
nameserver 61.1.96.71

let me know whether this works.

it does. works for me in fedora core 4. append thos files in hosts.conf

also, fc4 has an excellant utility adsl-setup. dunno if its there in suse too. it automates everything. just key in the entries mentioned above thats it.
