Hi,
last week I installed opensuse along with an existing windows 8.1 on my sony laptop. With some help from friendly people in this forum I got it working and the boot loader finally working alright, too.
However, on the third time (or so) booting into opensuse the internet connection suddenly was missing and I couldn't get it working again. It was working alright directly after installation and the first times.
My internet connection is supposed to work via a router and a DSL connection. The wired network connection to the router is working alright and I can also get/send a ping to my other computer on the network (whose internet connection is working fine). If I boot my laptop in windows 8.1 the internet connection is still working, so its not a problem of the router.
It is possible that the 78 updates which were indicated after installation are installed meanwhile but I'm not sure (the update manager shows "your system is up to date" but I never told it to install the 78 updates. Perhaps the system is "up to date" simply because no connection to the repository server exists). Maybe the updates blocked my internet connection?
Thank you all for your help as without network I cannot install any applications or even access the online-help now
