Hi Kage
me again, I'm afraid - after doing an online update of SuSE and rebooting, I can no longer get online. Sigh ... I tried the same commands again. This time <ifconfig eth0 up> worked fine but <dhcpcd eth0> produced the reply that DHCP was already running. But I still can't get online. The dmesg output is:
Code:

eth0: no IPv6 routers present
Now, of course, the final output - no router present - suggests it ain't connected to the router. Well, it is - I've changed nothing since this afternoon when I was online. Furthermore, I can reach the configuration interface of the router itself, so the computer is communicating with the router down the hallway. I just can't get any further than the router ...
Sorry to be so hopeless. I'm confused as to why this ain't working.
Thanks for any further advice.
