Peter, are you seriously suggesting that YaST network setup has not been working since 10.0 ?? I can't exactly confirm that - the only network config problem I have had is when I do an installation over ssh+nfs and then change the network address during stage2. Mea culpa really.

I can totally and completely safely say that altohu it sets up the drivers for the network card ok and always has done that for the longest time it has failed completely to enable the network correctly and so left it in a state of WTF i then end up having to set things up manually and reboot to get networking working correctly.
Bugreport#, please. Do you have anything special or unusual in your network?
Not even sure what to put in a bug report on this one althou it has plaged me for some time i have never found anything in the logs to base a report on other than how it actually appears here Not that i am aware of i use suse 10.0 as a firewall / router on a dedicated PC that connects via WiFi to my connection , I then use a local nameserver on the machine with an IP of 192.168.3.1 , All internal IP's are 192.168.3.xx the external is 192.168.0.103 (i piggy back on a friends connection with permission saves me the need for a landline and the associated charges) i use an internal Nameserver as i find it better than using the one on his router If i connect a windBloWs machine to the network it finds everything straight away (which is somewhat Ercksome) so it obviousley works .
I don't do any checking for updates, but for me, YaST has configured the network just fine since at least 8.x. With DHCP, DNS etc.

Humm well i get asked to check for updates during the later stages of the install seems there may be a modicum of inconsistancy in the install procedure maybe depending on the choices made at various stages hope to get a new HDDfor this box next week so i will try a MS6 install from new see what happens then as i say it was the same on MS5 so .. your guess is a good as mine on this one right now .
