What I noticed is that DHCP did not like them.

You can try switching to use "dhclient" instead of the default "dhcpcd" for handling the DHCP requests. But first make sure that you are up to date with online updates, since there was a recent fix to "dhclient".

You can change with the "/etc/sysconfig" settings of Yast.

That is correct.

I was referring to the advice to disable IPv6. I know that the OP has no default
route.

Not really, pretty close to static addressed, i don't have perfect control

So? I'm also on nntp. Start section by typing 'code' inside square brackets
[] without the quotes. End by typing the same, but with "/code" instead.

For example in YaST network settings you define all the settings, instead
of leaving it at "automatic network settings".

you are right, it is different...and better..."code tags" in nntp are
easily seen in the note you were replying to, and which Carlos has
explained...other 'tags' are available when writing into nntp posts...

they are here: http://forums.opensuse.org/misc.php?do=bbcode

so, if you wanted to make something appear 'bold' on the web side, which
typing on the nntp side, then it would be done this way

this is not bold, but this is..

cool huh?
