For some reason my PCChips A31G onboard ethernet will not connect to the

router with the correct host name and mac address. I can ping the router
just fine but nothing will go out of the router. I always have to use a
netgear PCI ethernet card to make OpenSuse work online.
I have tried both with IPv6 enabled and disabled.

Neither W2K nor Windows 7 has a problem getting on the net with the SIS
190 onboard ethernet on the same computer.

I don't understand why it can be connect to the router but not go out on
the internet because of something before this connection????

I have two of the same motherboard - both had failures of the ethernet. I no
longer use one of them - too many problems, and the other works ok with a
cheapie add in ethernet interface.

I avoid SiS whenever possible - ever since I could not use install on SATA
drives with a mb using their chip that was in production for five years
before I got one. Eventually, openSUSE started working with it but by then
I had moved to a mb with a decent SATA chip.

I doubt if SiS supports Linux effectively yet. Until I see solid proof, I
won't buy another mb with any SiS interface chip. There are too many
decent systems out there to waste money and time on crap.
