Hi I installed SuSE 8.2 Pro on a box with a SMC 83C170QF EtherPower II 10/100 network card. During the installation the network card was detected and I was able to configure it and also to do a first online update to the system. After the first reboot, I see that the modules for the network card are loaded and everything seems fine but I can not establish a connection to other computers in the network/internet. A ping to the the machine itself works, but to other computers fails with 100% loss of packages. I disabled the firewall completely, so this could not be the problem. Could you help, please? <snip>
As with quite a few members on this list, try disabling ACPI. When the pc boots and Grub screen appears, type in "acpi=off" and continue booting. Try this first.

As the poster said originally he could connect until he rebooted the machine. It sounds more likely that the default is not set correctly. I would check those settings first. -- Ken Schneider linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998
