A lightning strike took out my cable modem and the linksys router. I went out to the store and replaced both. If I boot to windows xp it works fine. (the router is configured exactly as the old one was, and it is the same model. BEFSR41 Linksys cable/dsl router
But for some reason if I reboot and go into into suse 9.3 (dual boot computer) I have no net access. I have tried to use firefox in linux to go to 192.168.1.1 to try to log into the router but it says failure to connect.
I'd give more info, but not sure what else to give. Please help. Andrew

192.168.1.0 is the network, 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254 are hosts on the network, and 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address (all hosts receive this). The network mask ('genmask' in above listing) controls this.
It can get complicated but is worth reading about, just so you have a better understanding. :-)

thank you for the responses. although I still don't have access to my network.
The ip address for the computer is 192.168.1.10 the gateway is 192.168.1.1 the network mask or genmask is 255.255.255.0
these are what the numbers should be. any other ideas?

When in doubt, look at Yast. :)
1. Yast->Network Devices->Network Card 2. Click on Change at the bottom 3. Double click your network card (probably only one choice) 4. Select "Automatic Setup" in the Setup Method section 5. Click the Routing button 6. Erase the entry under Default Gateway 7. Click on "Host Name and Name Server" 8. Put a checkmark in "Update Name Servers and Search List via DHCP" 9. Leave the Host Name and Domain Name what they are. You can select "Change Host Name via DHCP" if you want, but it's not necessary. 10. Click OK, Next, then Finish
You should be all set for DHCP mode. Then follow the instructions in the previous post.

I created the above listed post and thanks to Kevin Nathans and Alvins help , they gave me several ideas on getting my computer to access the LAN and the internet. But never quite got there.
I am creating this new thread because I fear that if I post to that thread no one would see it.
What I have done since my last post is : set suse 9.3 linux to DHCP and directly hooked the computer into the cable modem, this way I could try see if it was a problem with the router or not. but sadly when I typed in sudo /sbin/rcnetwork restart it failed to get a new IP address
Here is a piece of information that wasn't posted before. (in the previous thread) that may be of interest.
When the lightning took out the cable modem and the router, I obviously had to replace them. When I first booted into windows xp I had to go to the control panel into the network connections and tell windows xp to "repair this connection", before I had it repair the connection I had no net access.. afterwards I did. I made no changes in terms of ip address or dns entry or gateway. I think that the same needs to be done in linux. I just have no clue as to what I would need to do to get it done.
Any thoughts , suggestions, ideas? I do appreciate any help Andrew
What is the address of your Linksys router? Did you set it up to be a DHCP server as well? It could be that the router is maybe 192.168.0.1? There was a model that used that address as default.
