Hi. I'm familiar with Linux, but this is my first install of SuSE. Everything went fine except I can't ping my LAN. I used the Yast GUI to set up the network DNS host IP and default gateway as 192.168.0.1. If I take the net down and bring it up again with 'ifup eth0' it says it got address 192.168.0.8 / 255.255.255.0. That looks ok. However, I can't ping myself at that address. Can't ping the gateway either. Using 'ifconfig' reports eth0 running in ipv6. Doesn't report anything about 192.168.0.8 at eth0, rather some long inet6 address. I haven't tried ipv6 before. SuSE installed that for me without asking. On a DHCP ipv4 LAN should I run ipv6, and how would I get rid of it? What now? Thanks!
