Hi,
I just upgraded a number of x86_64 boxes from 12.2 to 13.1. All of computers sit behind a firewall which can also act as a DHCP server. One of the computers is dual homed with one ethernet interface on an external network. All of the internal ethernet interfaces had static IP addresses assigned and everything worked fine. I upgraded to 13.1 and the upgrade successfully preserved the network settings at least by looking at the "Network Settings" in Yast as well as looking at the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 script. However, when the system boots, it comes up with an IP address which it shouldn't have. If I manually change the IP address to what it should be, everything works as it should. However, the proper configuration does not persist across boots. I don't know how many times I've saved the static IP address setup, only to have it change after I hit "Save" in the "Network Settings". I'm getting pretty frustrated -- the configuration looks right, but what the systems actually do is different from how they are configured.
It seems to me that the hosts are accepting DHCP data when they should not be.
If anyone can offer some guidance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
Paul
