Re: [SLE] DHCP is already running on eth0?
What do I need to do about the DHCP - eth0 conflict? As root do an ifconfig and see if eth0 already has an IP address.
inet6 addr: fe80::210:a4ff:fec0:b90b/64 Scope:Link I just reinstalled Suse 9.2 due to multiple problems, no joy. Same eth0 info before and after.
If not, do an ifdown-dhcp and then an ifup-dhcp and see if an IP gets assigned.
Now it says "dhcp no such interface" and ifup -dhcp doesn't work, of course. dmc -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

This is an ipv6 address which your router/ISP does not understand. Turn off ipv6--see below.

This is from James Ogley, Dec 01, 2003: In /etc/modules.conf make the following change, replace alias net-pf-10 ipv6 # alias net-pf-10 off with # alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 off Run depmod -a && modprobe -r ipv6 (If modprobe can't unload the ipv6 module, then reboot) Ed Harrison SuSE 9.1, Kernel 2.6.9-vanilla PolarBar Mailer 1.25a
