Since the laptop (toshiba) will be rebooted frequently, I decided to reboot it just to make sure. Guess what. The ethernet connection no longer works. Worse, no matter what I change in the configuration of my PCMCIA ethernet card, I can't ping anywhere nor can I access the Internet. This has all the signs of a bug in the 10.0 software. Which bugzilla would I use to report such a problem?
I think you'd better slow down a bit before reporting it as a bug.
There were too many things wrong before and no guarantee they all got fixed.
Actually, in the end, the only thing that got changed was the address conflict. Otherwise, everything is back to the way it was and the 9.3 machines are working great.
Once again:
1) What is the ip address of the toshiba now?
That appears to be the problem. I don't think it has one.
2) How did it get obtained?
I used YaST to try to configure the network card. I first set it up as Static IP (192.168.100.10) and then changed it to DHCP. But as you can see from the outputs below, the configuration didn't seem to "take". As I said, this looks a lot like a bug.
3) What is the output on the laptop of ifconfig?
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3039 (2.9 Kb) TX bytes:3039 (2.9 Kb)
4) What is the output on the laptop of route -n?

You should start writing these questions down so you can provide the information without people having to ask.
Just what I need. Attitude. No problem. I'm going back to 9.3, which works, and let you smart guys figure this out. I wasted enough time trying to fix a broken distribution. -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules
