    Hi,

    I updated the bootloader file with "acpi=off" and did "rcnetwork restart"
    but still no connectivity.

    Ran "grep -i eth0 /var/log/boot.msg", output below. I'm not sure what to
    look for.

    eth0 (DHCP) <notice>startproc: execve (/sbin/dhcpcd) [ /sbin/dhcpcd -H
    -D -N -t 999999 -h linux eth0 ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console TERM=linux
    SHELL=/bin/sh OLDPWD=/etc/sysconfig/network progress=24
    INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.82 RUN_FROM_RC=yes REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=148
    PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts vga=0x31a
    RUNLEVEL=5 PWD=/etc/sysconfig/network PREVLEVEL=N LINES=51 HOME=/ SHLVL=4
    splash=silent sscripts=37 _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/sbin/dhcpcd ]

    Ran "grep on the /var/log/messages" and "dmesg" and received:
    eth0: no IPv6 routers present

    Hi CB

    Sorry you are not fully connected yet.

    Did you adjust the bootloader file to "acpi=off" ?

    Do this via YAST2 > Misc > Bootloader configuration?

    Have you returned all the eth0 configurations to the default for
    dhcp/dns (because if like me you had tried different combinations of
    settings it might be screwed up!!)

    Regards
