Problem getting an IP address
Sometimes when booting up my Linux machine won't get a valid IP address. Currently the only way i know of to rectify this is to remove the network card from the setup (via YaST) and re-add it. It then works perfectly.
Is there an easier solution? Some quicker way to re-register the PC on the network?Registered Linux User #379728

Sounds like you're using DHCP.. When you have a valid config, copy down the details, and then enter them as a static config instead.
200mhz Pentium 1 with MMX, 128mb RAM, 10gb Seagate HDD. Beastly.

Or simply try
# rcnetwork restart
.. but it's not really persistent solution.
