Hi.
Have you tried route?

route add default gw 192.168.0.1

(will set 192.168.0.1 as default)
Then,

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.0

ifconfig eth0
<<dhcppc2:/home/robt # ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:30:5D
inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

These are my numbers, but you said you weren't getting IPv4 inet addr and
maybe there is something else wrong.
I hope I wasn't to redundant and newbielike. Also are you using a router? I
took it for granted you were. Maybe DHCP is giving you another addr. than the
192.168.0.8 and thats messing with things. Pinging your localhost is a good
place to start. DHCP shouldn't be defaulting to IPv6 ...yet. SuSE installs
both 4 and 6 so we can all be ready:-)
Good luck!
