You shouldn't have to re-install. I've had some problems with nic's under 9.1. They'd work and then they wouldn't find the network. I found that deleting the nic in Yast, closing the NIC YaST component and then going back into it, and installing a new nic (actually the old one) worked. One other thing comes to mind here. Are you sure of your cables and other hardware? swap ports on your router, and switch cables from the box that works to the box that doesn't work. Does the box that works still work?

I'll give that a try. It's very frustrating to spend several days trying to get something to work, that used to. I get the feeling that the new kernel doesn't like (or doesn't have) the driver that used to work.
Sometimes it's as simple as a configuration issue, other times it's hardware related. I spent a whole weekend doing exactly what your going through with her system only to find out that I needed to fix the cable connection in her room. Learned something form that one, sometimes it is hardware. Working from a known good helps big time. Mike
