My openSUSE 10.2 laptop has been on the corporate network since being upgraded from Vista in May (a week after I got it).
Suddenly yesterday, I cannot connect to anything. I checked and found that my network - eth0 - is on but that I'm connected to a 'default' network of 169.254.x.x, which I'm told is a Microsoft network. My network admins (who work for me) are not able to help since none know Linux.
That address is the type that gets assigned when the DHCP address isn't assigned due to a timeout (for example). Have a look at /var/log/messages and grep for 'ifup-dhcp' to see if there are errors that could help.
