this is what I get when I type ifdown eth0:
eth0 device:
3Com Corporation 3c905b 100BaseTX (Cyclone)
etho0 configuration:
eth-id-oo:C0:4f:60:12:82
and when i type ifup-dhcp eth0 I get:
Starting DHCP Client Daemon on eth0. . . . . no ip address yet. . . .
backgrounding
This is what I'm getting when I type route:
July 30 02.22.06 Cinderella syslog-ng [4685]:STATS:dropped 0
July 30 13:15:09 Cinderella dhcpcd [7741]: terminating on single 15
July 30 13:15:09 Cinderella dhcpcd-hook: Skipping 'ifdown $INTERFACE
-o dhcp' call
July 30 13:15:15 Cinderella kernel:ACPI:PCI interrupt 0000:00:11.0[A]

July 30 13:15:25 Cinderella kernel:eth0: no IPv6 routers present
July 30 14:10:11 dhcpcd[8730]:terminating on single 15
The physical connections look good. I've tried with a cable I know
works, and I get the same problem.

This is what I get when i type ifconfig (I'm not getting any ip address now):
No you certainly aren't. There appear to be a few packets flowing but not many, probably just dhcp requests.
Shutdown suse firewall if you are running it. Check your physical connections (wires, etc).
Then open two shell windows (as root). In one, type tail -f /var/log/messages In the other: ifdowm eth0 followed by ifup-dhcp eth0
And watch the results.
What kind of nic is that anyway? I can't get a match on that mac address in any database. It almost seems like you have a dribble connection, where a few packets get through but not enough for a connection.
Often this happens with 10/100 nics that don't negotiate very well. (3com) Also, while it could be your NIC, double check your cables. We recently had a problem with a server in our lab. This was an HP DL140 with 2 NICS. We even put in a third NIC. The cable to the panel was fine. The patch panel looked ok, but we decided to move the cable to another position and it worked fine.
