Re: [Sheflug] SuSE 7.3 Network Problems

[Craig Andrews <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, thats an offer too good to miss!

When you ping localhost, are you sure you aren't pinging 127.0.0.1? This
is using a virtual network interface lo, rather than a real card.

Which card is being used? It may be that there is some conflict in
loading the card. Is anything output in the syslog when you start the
network?

Cheers,

Craig
