Hi Donald, So I took another stab getting the lan to work last night..& still it is a no go... didn't get your email until the morning though. Yes.. I do duel boot w/ windows XP... In XP, everything is fine... so I know it's not a hardware thing I'll check to see if the port is enabled when i get home tonight. I did hit F2 while it was booting and saw this message eth0 Failed So I have downloaded the rpm that you mentioned & I've installed it using Yast2.... it seems to install fine.. but since I can't really view (more like I don't know how to view) the log file for error I'm not totally sure. Unless, Yast2 will tell me there is an error if it runs into one. Is it better to install it from a command line.... what is the command to install the rpm from a command line? I've seen other postings about this, but never a solution... more often then not the people end the discussion w/ the fact that they purchased a new NIC for a couple of bucks & every thing worked fine after that..... an option i'm contemplating now... are there any other ethernet cards that you would recommend for suse 9.0??? thanks, vu

You should download go to root, cd over in the command line and run this on your system. It has the drivers for all NForce 2 mobos. Do not be discouraged if you have to try again, apparently lot's of other people have had problems as well. Working from the command line can be daunting but be persistent. They may run from the GUI too I forget, I know the graphics drivers should not be run from the GUI. The NVidia supplied drivers btw are nearly always better than the OEM supplied Drivers because they are constantly being updated and improved. I have had great luck previously with Realtech on other systems and other Linuxs but hardware failure can happen.
