Let me tell you - it took me a few hours to get mine
working. I hade to rewrite some of the init scripts
as routing is simply not done if you specify DHSP for
any interface. Lenz says this is fixed in the new
SuSE Linux. I've tried SuSE 5.3 and 6.0, and I
can get the machine to connect to the Internet once,
but after the DHCP lease expires, the DHCP client
won't renew the lease, and that interface goes down.
Unfortunately, I'm back on Red Hat for the router
(gateway) as it works. I'm going to try to get
Red Hat's DHCP client to run under SuSE, but that
will be a while from now.
