In my network, I have a DHCP server that supplies all non-server
systems (Windows XP, Linux) with IP information: IP address, DNS
servers, default gateway, Internet domain etc). The client will supply
the nodename.

No problem for the XP machines, but SUSE seems to have a problem.
NOTHING is returned as it seems, the IP address of the NIC is an
address as if it was a non-connected Windows machine, NO DNS servers,
NO default gateway and No domain information - these are all
zeroed/blanked. NO error message.
It's NOT the network itself, because if the NIC is confugured by hand
(static data) everthing works as intended, but I consider thsi
inappropiate.


What is your DHCP client configuration? We're running a setup just like
you describe and it works fine.
