How do I get the IP of a server to make an online instalation of Suse Linux in my computer?
Please give the IP of one of these servers:
ftp://suse.inode.at/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/
ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/
http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/
http://suse.itsoft.at/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/
ftp://suse.itsoft.at/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/
Thanks!

hi!
you can easily get the IP address of any public server on the net by using http://www.fifi.org/services/ping
also, the SuSE net-install CD supports DNS/ DHCP, so entering the server URL (e.g. suse.inode.at instead of it's IP address 81.223.20.170) should be perfectly okay.
you don't only have to write down the URL/IP of the server but also the PATH; there is **NO** browsing during FTP setup and if you don't enter the correct & complete path, the setup will not continue
also, rather then servers in europe, you may want to try to find servers in the states of south america; begin the download of a CD to see what the bandwidth is; a even basic installation w/ graphical interface will require over one GIGABYTE of files;
if you connection drops for whatever reason, you will have to start the install from scratch, whereas download of a DVD (thru torrent) can be resumed.
good luck w/ your installation!
you can either ping it, do a dig or an nslookup. They all resolve the domain name to the ip address.
you can even go to http://www.dnsstuff.com and look it up there if you're click-happy.
