failed services in runlevel 5: network

Hello.
At first, sorry for my bad English.
So, I’m new in using openSuse and I’ve a problem with my Internet.
I have a second partition on my Computer with windows XP, and there is everything working fine. I have no idea what could be the problem. The only Note I have is that when I shutdown openSuse, there comes this message:
services in runlevel 5: network -failed.
I hope you can help me.

The I-net worked when i rebootet sometimes… I have installed a nvidia graphic-card driver and I rebootet. Now I see the message “waiting for mandotery devices” and it counts down to 0. Also, at the boot-loader is a new field with the name “xen – openSuse…”.

How do you connect to the internet? Via a router or direct via modem?

You might try to give the machine a static ip address, in openSUSE as well as in XP, but a different ip for each.
Example: router internal ip is 192.168.1.1, XP 192.168.1.100, openSUSE 192.168.1.110, default gateway should be 192.168.1.1, you’d have to fill out the nameservers in the networksettings

Can you post your network settings from Windows?

xen option is coming during the boot only when xen virtual machine is installed.
