I'm not sure why,but the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 file rewrote itself with several errors when the repair work on the dsl line was being performed. There were two specific errors in file that caused the computer to be unable to connect to the internet. First, the name of the network card was missing from the file. I wrote that into the file by copying a line from the same file in a computer that had opensuse installed that could reach the internet. Second, there was an extra line inserted in the file that was wrong: DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE='yes' was written correctly in the file. Then a few lines below it, DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME='yes' was written. The default for that setting is no, according to the /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp file. The two settings conflicted with each other. I compared the ifcfg-eth0 file in the problem computer with the same file in a working computer, and the working computer didn't have that line in the file. So I just deleted that line in the file in the problem computer. After those changes were made and the file saved, the computer would connect automatically to the internet. Mark
Er... no, DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE does not conflict with DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME. Typically for most home routers they should be "yes", "no". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
