What are *you* talking about? The only way to determine if you have connectivity is to actually try to connect to something. Failing a DHCP request attempt tells you no more about the problems of your network than failing a ping, or an attempt to connect to some server. Only the raw rookie would think he had connectivity simply because he has an IP, but forgot it was assigned statically.
The OP already admitted to being a raw wookie. Perhaps you would like to throw a few more insults his way. Further, if you had bothered to follow the thread you would have seen he already manually assigned an ip and that was still unable to ping. You are now recommending he run in circles. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
