Help! I can't get on the internet


I am a complete novice when it comes to Linux. I have my SUSE Linex dual booted with my Windows XP on my laptop. Windows can access the internet through my wireless DSL, but SUSE Linux cannot. Even though Yast recognizes my wireless network card and my DSL connection, I am unable to get online.

Here is some information that may or may not be relevant:

Communications Other Devices
Conexant D110 MDC V.9x Modem


1394 Net Adapter
Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller
Physical Address: 00:12:3F6:AB:E8
Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card
primary Auto IP Address: 192.168.2.101 / 24
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
Dhcp Server: 192.168.2.1
Physical Address: 00:90:4B:FC:A0:AD

Networking Dns Servers: 71.3.0.116
199.2.252.10

Could someone please walk me through this? I am not a technie, so if you use any computer jargon, I will probably not know what it is. Please assume that I know nothing at all about Linux because I probably don't. I will need to take baby steps.

Please...can someone help me get online?

Keith

I'm assuming you accidentally posted the same question twice, in the same forum. Reported for closure.

Yes, it was accidental

Yes, I didn't intend to post this question twice. Sorry. I have gotten at least one answer, but I am not sure that I understand it completely.
