You are right!

When I pinged "www.google.com" I got the message "can't find the adress
www.google.com".
With YaST I found that the DHCP-server was not running and I tried to start
it manualy. But one way or the other I am not able to do so. Should it run
all the time?
I allso checked if the DHCP-server was installed and I found it is but I
can't get it running.
