I meant with a static address assigned to the NIC the above means that you are still attempting to obtain an address by DHCP... This would establish whether the driver had an issue, or something odd has happened to the DHCP client. A very faint possibility is that there may be an issue with connection negotiation (Duplex, 10/100 mbps etc). > >> b) Which NIC? > > nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller > Is this the same NIC as on your other machines. If you think is so check chipset on card... NIC card manufacturers have a nasty habit of revising the chipset under the hood. <snip> > Carlos FL -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGZYNLasN0sSnLmgIRAi48AJ9q5r933Y/0p2iLG1c5ETnSZ4dUMwCffZox /JCHaKUBrs/vappw28K1EUw= =oQfs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
