I was having problems too with getting an ip address, but i'm not sure
if my solution would work for you too, i'm NOT an expert on this (to say
the least).
Like i said i couldn't get an ip address and when starting up gnome
gnome complaint about not beenable to get an valid hostname or something
like that and some programs seem to took ages to load, i remember having
trouble like this with mandrake 8.0 (i think) and at that time i never
figured out what to do, anyway in suse 8.0 my hostname was "linux" by
default and in suse 8.1 my hostname was some ip adress, witch was
strange because at startup i couldn't get any, so i thought maby this
has something to do with it so i started up yast2 and went to
system->editor for etc/sysconfig->network->dhcp and changed
DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME to NO, and all is well now (don't ask me why).
Good luck,
Chris.
