RE: [SLE] DSL

Well, I'm SUPPOSED to be using DHCP, so I'll check as soon as I get home that dhcpcd is being invoked. Thanks. Every little suggestion helps. Those configurators (like YaST) are good for setting up initially, and for doing standard additions, but they insulate the dummies (that'd be me) from learning what goes on behind the scenes, and they also kinda suck at doing repair/recovery of a formerly working system. /kevin

are you using dhcpcd if so do this check that eth0 has auto-ip enable and run:

killall dhcpcd dhcpcd

So, next time I rebooted, two ugly things happened. 1)these messages appeared during startup: "/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.0.1" failed" "SIOCADDRT failed" "Setting up routing failed"

I have verified that the problem is not hardware.

I performed a major "Update" of SuSE from the CDs, so that virtually ALL packages were re-installed. Nothing changed. I therefore assume that I've broken some config files somewhere. The problem is that I don't know where to look, or what I should be looking for.

YaST (and Network configuration) were no help, even when I deleted and recreated my eth0 device.
