I had been running a Fedora Core 2 machine for a couple of months, and decided to give SuSE a shot. I have one machine that I use to run Linux ( PII 400MHz, a real screamer!!!), one machine which I use to run XP Pro, and a Windoze 2K Server which I have a domain setup on for the XP machine (and which I hope to join the Linux machine to as soon as I figure out how). Th 2K Server hands out the IPs via DHCP, which was working beautifuly with Fedora, but when I switched to SuSE it refuses to get an IP from the server. I know that eth0 works b/c I put the SuSE machine on my network at work and DHCP did just fine. The DHCP snap-in on my server even shows that my Linux machine is registered with addy of 192.168.1.4, now if I could just get SuSE to feel the same way.

I should mention that I did get it to work one time after I created a machine account for my Linux box in Widows AD, but I've rebooted since then, and the problem came back. I do run Black Ice Server Protection on the 2K Server but I don't have any rules defined in it that should interfere with DHCP assignments.

Hope somebody out there can point me in the right direction...
