I booted up both of my machines in linux last night, and one got an IP via DHCP, and the other failed. Both have the same motherboard w/ the same on-board NIC. The one which worked has a Duron 1Gig, and the one which failed has an Athlon 1600+. Both are running 8.0 and set up virtually the same. I had reset my router (to the factory default values) also.

My advice is that you shut down the dhcp server in the router and set up a server on the linux machine. In my experiences the dhcp servers in SuSE's distribution will work.
Hi, Anders, Whoa. Having a great amount of respect for you and your knowledge about this please don't take this wrong, but is that really all I can do? If I decide to go with that solution, how would this work? I set up the dhcp server on my Linux machine (dreading it, but okay) - Can this be done in Yast? What happens to the machines on the network when I take my notebook out and go fishing?
