Just a followup on a couple of thins I read after posting this. Your
Linux system worked find until recently, and recently there was a major
storm in your area. Is it possible that your NIC is fried and you are
getting intermittent connections with it? When I get the network is
unreachable problem, I usually open YaST delete the network card
information, and then re-install the network card. YaST picks up the
info and I get a network connect again. IT's not pretty but could be
informative.
