Thomas,
try the loopback - 127.0.0.1
That pings ok.
If it works, then your eth0 interface is fragged up. Check for the proper driver for your hardware.
'lspci' reports sis900 and so does 'lsmod'.
If you are utilizing the right driver, then check your cabling.
# ifdown eth0 # rmmod sis900 # modprobe sis900 # ifup eth0
Same as before. Still says 192.168.0.8, but only inet6 address for eth0 reported by 'ifconfig'.
Plugged in and has a green light on the back of the NIC. I don't think it would get that DHCP address if it wasn't connecting to the DHCP server.
A ping from another box to 192.168.0.8 usually times out, but sometimes gets a reply on just the first packet.
By the way, rebooting doesn't help and the NIC works fine running a different distro.
More ideas?
Robin
If it is in fact completing a successful DHCP request than you should be able to capture the traffic using ethereal or tcpdump. Start either one up using sudo or su and attempt to capture teh "conversation". This will let you determine any RST flags set by the upstream router and/or gateway. - -- Thomas Jones Linux-Howtos Network Administrator OpenGPG Key: 0x6A3DF6E9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+//DTQT2komo99ukRAnU2AJ9rCzWRZnFToT6lB+2QH+A4n3stWgCghp7L 0wKJej6BRJayOqenG3uvfnM= =F6Jz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
