I didn't put my hands directly on the file because it was a mess.

Gks,
I also have the same problem(i think) ..Just how did you uninstall your eth card from Yast?
I tried to do it but a window said you need at least one eth card?
PS Glad you got yours going,I'm about to throw it in ...

Does anybody know what that is? Probably a defective installation? I've used the DualLayer DVD from bittorent(with lots of problems).

edit /etc/dhcpd.conf - Yast doesn't clean up what it makes dirty. Your conf file shuold look something like this:

Code:

option domain-name-servers 145.253.2.11, 145.253.2.75;
option routers 192.168.1.151;
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 1814400;
subnet  netmask  {
  range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.150;
  default-lease-time 604800;
  max-lease-time 31536000;
}
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.150;
  default-lease-time 604800;
  max-lease-time 31536000;
}

simply delete the red block
