One of my desktop machines is dual-boot and lived happily attached to my SMC router, which has a built in DHCP server. After a change of network card the DHCP server saw and assigned an address to it, as usual. After booting into Windows (network working again fine) I went back to Suse 10.1 but there was no IP address. The DHCP client keeps waiting. The DHCP router does not acknowledge the presence of this network card in the status window, even though all lights are green (and connection works in Windows).
I reconfigured the card a few times and rebooted the router. I disabled the MAC address control on the router and the other machines are fine, all acknowledged by the router and given the usual address.
Any clues?
Thanks, Carlos FL
Some thoughts....
a) Does the NIC communicate with a static IP address from SuSE?
No. Even an attempt to ping the router (192.168.2.1) gives error: "Connect: Network is unreachable." "rcnetwork status" gives "eth0 dhcpd is still waiting for data."
b) Which NIC?
nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller
c) Has the network information been reconfigured on SuSE?
I deleted the configuration in the "Network Card" configuration in Yast and reconfigured it (Traditional Method with ifup), but there was no change. change. DHCP Options are default (unset apart from Hostname AUTO) and the same settings are still working in the other machines.
