Hello, I recently installed SUSE 9.0 on my machine, it has 2 ethernet cards. Only one of them (eth1) is connected to the LAN. Everytime I start my computer, to be able to connect to the network, I need to go to YAST -> network devices and reconfigure the network cards. What I usually end up doing is, say both NICs are configured then I remove eth0 from the configuration, and hit finish. And boom I can connect to the network. Now the next I start my machine, I will go to YAST and it will show me only eth1 is configured. In that case I will have to add the eth0 card, i configure that as being dynamic and hit finish. So now i have 2 cards configured and now I am able to connect to the network. So essentially every time i restart my computer I add or remove the eth0 card from the configuration. Any ideas as to why this happens? thanks _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
