The Perfect Setup - OpenSuSE 10.2

I know I've probably done something incorrectly, but I can't get past page 4 of the setup...

I'm using a Linksys Wireless G Router WRT54G
IP Address 75.XXX.XXX.XXX
Subnet Mask 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway 75.XXX.XXX.X
DNS1 208.XXX.XX.XX
DNS2 208.XXX.XX.XXX
MTU 1500

Anyone have any idea?

 

Why does it say 192.168.0.0 when your IP address is 192.168.1.110 and the gateway is 192.168.1.1?

 

I don't know. This is what the install program generated. The default gateway is set to 192.168.1.1

 

Can you try to run

Code:

yast

and correct your network settings?

 

I continued the install letting the program set the ip address and was able to continue the setup and download the updates. Should I continue with the setup and then go back and try to adjust the appropriate settings to my network?

 

Automatice DHCP

My router has a setting to act as a DHCP server. I'm going to try and turn that off and see if it will allow me to assign an ip address.

 

I'm using DHCP as well, but still I can assign a static IP address to my SuSE system, as shown here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_opensuse_10.2_p3
