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

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

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?

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_se...ensuse_10.2_p3
