Connectivity problem

I've installed SUSE10 (non-commercial distro) and everything seems to have
gone OK except that the
system lost connectivity after the setup completed.

I know the NIC is OK because the machine ran the updates from the Internet
during the setup process with no trouble but when it rebooted after the
installation, I couldn't ping or connect to anything.

I show a link at the NIC and the switch port. A packet trace shows it got
an IP address (DHCP) but it gets no response to an ARP request for the
router's MAC, but the same trace shows one of my host network's DNS servers
responding with a "no such host" message. The SUSE firewall is disabled. I
can't ping any local or remote address, either by number or name and none
of the other machines on the LAN can ping the Linux box.

Anybody have any suggestions?
