It will do; you're only testing the local machine, not the network ;) I mean, try pinging a workstation from the SuSE machine. If they have managed to use the DHCP server to get correct addresses (they wouldn't have 192.168.* addresses if they hadn't contacted the server) then that means the network works. Alternatively, just do a normal ping but just leave it. Don't quit out immediately - leave it for up to a minute. It may begin working suddenly, which again points to a name resolution problem. > I'm not sure what "a named" is. Name resolution daemon ;) A DNS server, in other words! Cheers, Alex.
