You sound like just the person who could tell me what I'm doing wrong if you would be so kind! My SuSe 9.0 box comes up looking for an IP address and never gets one (confirmed by ifconfig). When booted as a Win98 machine it works fine. Could you tell me just what and where needs to be entered in Yast to wake this machine up? Thanks, Chris
Why don't you use 'tcpdump' or something similar, to dump the data being sent/received via the interface to discover if any request (DHCP Discover) is being sent, and if so what is being replied? I can't afford to have any of my machines up 24/7 to function as dual homed gateways. So, I use a cheap D-LINK 804 broadband router ... yeah, I know I'm poor. But that's what us poor guys do, use cheap stuff that works.
