Folks, I enabled debug mode in sysconfig/netowrk.dgcp and here is what I see: <notice>/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S05network start Setting up network interfaces: lo done eth0 (DHCP) <notice>startproc: execve (/sbin/dhcpcd) [ /sbin/dhcpcd -d -D -N -Y -t 999999 -h boomer1 eth0 ], [ PWD=/etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=boomer1 CONSOLE=/dev/console PREVLEVEL=N AUTOBOOT=YES REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 MACHTYPE=i386-suse-linux OLDPWD=/etc/sysconfig/network LINES=34 SHLVL=4 COLUMNS=105 BOOT_IMAGE=linux SHELL=/bin/bash HOSTTYPE=i386 OSTYPE=linux HOME=/ TERM=linux PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts RUNLEVEL=5 INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.82 _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/sbin/dhcpcd ] dhcpcd[368]: broadcasting DHCP_DISCOVER . . . . dhcpcd[368]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response dhcpcd[368]: modify_resolvconf restore . dhcpcd[368]: modify_resolvconf returns 0 . . no IP address yet... backgrounding. done <notice>'/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S05network start' exits with status 0 I have another SuSE 8.0 machine with a linksys NIC working fine so I am not sure if this is a SuSE 8.0 problem or specific to the nForce (nVidia) NIC. Any ideas/suggestions what to try next other than buying a linksys NIC? Thanks, Babu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
