I found a message saying to change the modules.conf file and reboot. That succeeded in removing the ipv6 module, however, my card is still in 64 bit addressing mode. I have a Trendware gigabit ethernet that uses the ns83820 driver. Here's what /var/log/messages says: kernel: ns83820.c: National Semiconductor DS83820 10/100/1000 driver. kernel: eth0: using 64 bit addressing. kernel: eth0: ns83820 v0.18+: DP83820 v1.3: 00:40:f4:66:a0:ae io=0xdffff000 irq=5 f=h,sg kernel: eth0: link now 1000 mbps, full duplex and up. I can't ping anything other than my own IP. SuSE is really nice, but there's 2 things that I've come across that's very annoying. First, I told it during install not to format my home partition. Apparrently, it didn't, but it did touch it somehow and I lost about 40GB of stuff. Second, it defaulted to IPv6. Really stupid... Thanks, Barry
