Hi, newbie here :-) I have SuSE installed on my laptop as a dual boot option. I recently ran Yast Online Update for the first time. After the Update completed my eth0 is down and I am not online anymore from SuSE. Any ideas why this happened? I don't know how to get eth0 running again, any suggestions? Regards from Denmark. Dan

What does ifconfig show? I suggest logging out of you windows session, then going to tty1 with Ctrl+Alt+F1. Then login as root. enter init 1 to bring your system down to runlevel 1. That stops all the network stuff, and just about everything else. You will then be promted for the root password which you should enter. Then enter init 3. This will bring your system up to the network runlevel without X. Watch what happens. If you just installed the new kernel, you may have a problem with module mismatch. I'll have to think a bit about how to address that. Be sure you are booting from the harddrive, and not the DVD or CD. Enter ls -l /usr/src and take a look at where the /usr/src/linux is linked. Type uname -a and see if it shows the same version number as the directory to which /usr/src/linux is linked. -- Regards, Steven

You'll have to provide more info. Run /sbin/ifconfig and post the results.

If you also updated the kernel you will need to reboot. When the module for your network card was provided by the default kernel you should be able to use the network after a reboot. If you compiled the module manually you need to recompile the module for the new kernel. Sandy
My system is online again. I had to edit the Network card settings in YAST. This is what I did: YAST > Network Devices > Network Card Then I edited the current device Went to Advanced > DHCP Client Options and put a check mark at "Request Broadcast Response" Only after doing that could I again get an IP from my ISP's DHCP server. I don't know why that worked and I don't know if I have used that setting before, but I am glad to have SuSE online again. Thanks for all the responses. Dan Dan wrote:
