Hello. I have been having a very similar problem ever since trying to get my OpenSUSE 10.3 server joined to an Active Directory domain and setting up an XP Pro VMWare virtual machine. At first it seemed that I was getting no internet activity, but I have now confirmed that I have full access but no name resolution.
I have checked resolv.conf, and it appears to me to be correct:
### BEGIN INFO
#
#
### END INFO
#
domain institute
nameserver 143.207.5.30
nameserver 143.207.5.31
nameserver 143.207.5.32
Those are the correct name servers for my internal network.
A couple random digs on my name servers provide the following:

; (1 server found)

These certainly make it look like my DNS servers are doing their jobs correctly… I’m just not sure why my OpenSUSE server isn’t resolving with normal use anymore.
The results of the “ip addr sh” command provide the following:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:1d:09:ef:0c:4a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 143.207.29.10/24 brd 143.207.29.255 scope global eth0
3: vmnet8: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:50:56:c0:00:08 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

4: vmnet1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

inet 192.168.59.1/24 brd 192.168.59.255 scope global vmnet1
And, “ifconfig -a” results in this:

If anyone can please provide some assistance, that would be great. At a bare minimum, how would I go about completely resetting ALL my network settings and protocols to initial install defaults without reformatting? I think that might be the way to go, but I don’t want to wipe out my data.
