That's too sad ;( If you don't see "eth0" in ifconfig, there may be a compatibility issue between SuSE 10.0 and the PCMCIA NIC.
The NIC is Linksys. If Linux doesn't support Linksys, they'll be missing about half the computers on the planet. Anyway, I had no problems using the same NIC when running 9.3. Again, my contention is that there is either a bug in the software or in the installation routine.
If you want to set up a static IP on one of your PCs(like the laptop) in the future, pick one of IPs within 192.168.1.52-192.168.1.254 because you said you assigned 50 IPs for DHCP at the Linksys (192.168.1.2-192.168.1.51). For example, -Linksys: 192.168.1.1/24 (DHCP server) -PC-1 : 192.168.1.2(via DHCP) -PC-2 : 192.168.1.3(via DHCP) -PC-3 : 192.168.1.4(via DHCP) -Laptop : 192.168.1.52(static)
This is the way to keep all devices happy campers.
Good advice. Thanks. -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules
