Hi Peter,
Have you tried to setup static address for your connection?
This will either solve your problem or make possible to cut and paste text
direct from Linux box to continue DHCP troubleshooting :-)
You need some local address that is not used by router as DHCP range.
By now all routers, that I have configured, don't use range between
192.168.x.201 and 192.168.x.254.
The default route is your router 192.168.1.1 (I guess).
The name server is the same as default route.
Subnet Mask is usually 255.255.255.0
In YaST -- Network Devices -- Network Card use for this time Traditional
Method with ifup. In Network Address Setup window mark:
x Static Address Setup
IP Address
