It's usually something simple <grin>... KISS

The firewall did not allow access to 192.168.1.1. Started Yast2 and re-recognized the nic, restarted 'rcSuSEfirewall2 restart' and the router was addressable and is now in use.

This seems odd to me. During your run with this thread I've changed cable routers to, and back again. In neither transition did the firewall stop access to the router. The one I changed to (and back from) was 192.168.1.1, and my original was 192.168.0.1. I'm mentioning it because your situation has me curious.

Only unfortunate thing, my ip changed for the first time since I got cable access, probably because I have had some heavy access lately, and no-ip.com did not adjust quickly enough for me to realize the problem.

btw: I am unable to configure dynamic dns on the router. ???

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions and help. The BEST.
