My openSUSE 10.2 laptop has been on the corporate network since being upgraded from Vista in May (a week after I got it).
Suddenly yesterday, I cannot connect to anything. I checked and found that my network - eth0 - is on but that I'm connected to a 'default' network of 169.254.x.x, which I'm told is a Microsoft network. My network admins (who work for me) are not able to help since none know Linux.
We recently switched from an NT 4.0 Domain to a new AD setup. That switch was three weeks ago, so I can't imagine this issue is related.
In googling, I found that there apparently is no GUI tool for configuring or renewing DHCP leases. I dropped down to the command line and have tried both 'service network restart' and 'dhclient -r eth0'
In both cases, the network releases and then comes back.
Ideas? This is too weird.
