I'm the guy who got frustrated trying to set up a laptop on my LAN after installing SUSE 10.0 and decided to go back to SuSE 9.3. It turned out
<snip> The SuSE Firewall will cause pings to fail. Disable it, and then try pinging the HP again.

I would agree but just changing to a static IP shouldn't cause any changes to the firewall if it is running... i.e. disable it. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Firewall was disabled early on. I just double-checked. The firewalls are disabled on both hplaptop and linux. No change in pings. -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules

Well, you're probably going to get mad at me on this go-around like you did last time, but you're not giving us much information to work with.

No, I promise I won't get mad at you this time. I apologize for last time. My only excuse is that I was getting really frustrated with 10.0, which turned out to be a hardware problem. As to the information I'm giving you, I'm just answering questions. I just posted a reply to your questions about IP addresses and route -n output.
