I thought DHCP was enough. When you select DHCP and do a disable/enable cycle from Yast on the interface do you actually get an IP Address? (I have no idea what status info YaST provides, as I've never used it). If the graphical interface doesn't provide such information then looking at the output of "/sbin/ifconfig eth0" from a terminal should show you what your IP address is under "inet addr:". Hopefully others on the list will have better advice to do specifically with Rogers and SUSE. mh -- Martin Hicks || mort [ at ] bork [ dot ] org || PGP/GnuPG: 0x4C7F2BEE
