I had something like this a long time ago, and if my rusty memory serves me correctly it was down to a problem with my networking setup, in particular the DNS settings. Do you have the option to 'change hostname using DHCP' ticked in your network setup?
Hi Pete, Must be close to the solution. No idea where to change the hostname using DHCP. Could not fine anything useful. But found out that if I would like to setup a DHCP server the initialization stops with the information: ERROR
Looking at this information I would say that somewhere in my setup a dot has creeped up. A dot but where?
Hi Constant
From memory (I'm working on a Vista machine at the moment, I'm afraid, sorry!) Start YAST->Network Card->Choose 'Traditional Method....'->Edit->Next->Hostname and Name Server. Check if the tick box 'change hostname via DHCP' is ticked. If so, untick it and restart your system.
I think the DHCP server you have is returning invalid data for the hostname, but your system is accepting it anyway and returning to a default ('reached'). Give it a go and let us know.
