what surprises me is that your system didn't recognize the rt8169 network card without installing a separate driver. i think i remember that the card on my other machine uses the same one, and detected it automatically. don't have access to that machine now and can't confirm this for sure, though.
somewhere in the process of uninstalling the old and installing the new driver something must have gone wrong; but what exactly i can't figure out from this thread; certainly hope that somebody else will, but the whole thing appears pretty confused.
if you boot from a live CD, does your network work?
If you are asking if there might be an external reason for not reaching the network, there isn't I was able to substitute another HD, containing WinXP, and was able to reach the network with it. So the problem is very local. I think the way to go is to delete the driver altogether and begin anew. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
