This may seem a silly question but I assume you have configured the network device with YaST to obtain the information via DHCP.. I have never known this to fail to work with a wired NIC but I have had quirky things happen with a wireless device.. (DHCP request timed out before wireless card finished negotiating connection)... If you have configured DHCP look in the boot.log file, this may give a clue on what is happening... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
