I have been having intermittant connectivity problems, so started trying to fix like an auto mechanic: replace a part at a time and see what works. Router is linksys, fairly new so not suspicious. Cable modem was maybe 5-6 years old or more, so replaced that. Not much change, still lose connectivity at an odd time, nothing can get me back up, then some hours later, voila!, I am back on...so rush to get out emails, or questions like this while possible. New cable modem has new MAC address, which I registered with ISP, but am not sure how to re-set in SUSE 11. On the one hand, I am online now, but check with eth0 in YAST, Network Devices, shows old MAC address. I assume I can manually change in a file probably in /etc, but I did not find one that seemed obvious. Any suggestions? Thanks for any assistance, including other thoughts on the random outages. Cable company has been by and replaced lines, splitters, like that, assures that signal is good.
