[Emarzee]

hi im doing ISP Server Setup - OpenSUSE 10 RC 1
behind a router and im receiving a static ip from my company.

followed the tutorial verbatimbut for one part where i assigned my linux box a static ip in my router so the number is different. but it cant connect to the internet.

i used my internet assigned gateway subnetmask and DNS numbers

Try to set the IP address of your router as gateway IP in your SuSe server.

OK back again.. having an issue with quota managed to get it installed but when i type /etc/fstab
i get a message saying not permitted to do that. i am logged in as root as well using the su command you told me to use earlier.
here is a snippet of the peice im following. im guessing that i just need to learn how to edit
Quota

yast -i quota

Edit /etc/fstab to look like....


-edit-
is that something i have to edit in yast?

You should be logged in as root on the shell, and you should use an editor like vi, pico or nano to edit /etc/fstab. Don't use one of those desktop text editors.

hi
i'm in the console with no gui installed as suggested in the tutorial.

Can you run the command

whoami

to see as which user you're logged in?
Also, can you post the output of

ls -l /etc/fstab

?
