I did now assign the usual IP statically to the card in Yast. "ifconfig" shows the address, but I cannot ping anything in the LAN. > A very faint possibility is that there > may be an issue with connection negotiation (Duplex, 10/100 mbps > etc).

This one just got a new NIC, which worked fine in Suse for 2 days before I first booted into Windows. When I booted back into Linux, then my problems started. That is why I suspected the DHCP server had some hiccup, but resetting it did not help. Carlos FL -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
