b) Which NIC?

Is this the same NIC as on your other machines. If you think is so check chipset on card... NIC card manufacturers have a nasty habit of revising the chipset under the hood.
No. Every machine is unique. This one just got a new NIC, which worked fine in Suse for 2 days before I first booted into Windows. When I booted back into Linux, then my problems started. That is why I suspected the DHCP server had some hiccup, but resetting it did not help.

---------------------- I'm going to ask a silly question and make a silly suggestion. When you say you booted into Windows then booted into Linux later, did you shutdown the machine first or just reboot it selecting Linux? Next, if you did the above, try shutting down the computer, as in turn off, then booting directly into Linux when you power back up to see if it comes back online.
