Mysterious IP adress assigned to my PC

Hi all,

I am using Suse 9.3 ( german version ) with the latest patches installed.
My network is made up by a D-Link Router with DHCP Service running.
Everythink worked fine all the time. But now I am having the following
problen:

If I set my network card to " get IP adress automaticcally " it gets the
number 192.168.2.100 which does not correspond to the IP numbers issued by
the router ( 192.168.0.100 ). The router in turn sees the computer and has
assigned the adress 192.168.0.100 to it.

As a consequence of this mess the PC cannot reach the router interface but
still has got access to the internet. If I assign a static IP adress to
the PC ( e.g. 192.168.0.100 ) the router can be acessed but the internet
acess fails.

My question is: does anybody have an idea how the IP 192.168.2.100 gets
assigned to teh system ? ( I used to have a 2nd router in the network
which operated at the number 192.168.2.1. But this router is not connected
to the network for quite a while. So I suspect that there may be any
setting file on my PC from where the number 192.168.2.100 is retored. )

How can I get ride of theis number. What are the setting files that need
to be checked ? Does anybody can give me advice how to fix the problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Christian

PS: Other PCs in the network do behave normally. => I do not think that
the trouble is caused by the router )

Have you enabled DHCP to change your network configuration files?

What should mean ...?

I haven't seen the answer to my question:
"Did you let DCHP client during network card installation to change your
network configuration; DNS servers, IP address, default gateway?"

It seems to be something like that.
