Can't connect to the internet using cable modem and SUSE 9.1.
Can anyone help me in setting up my Ethernet network card to be able to connect to the Internet? If it helps, I'm on a Dell Dimension 9100 running SUSE 9.1 with KDE. Using the Internet works fine with windows. The ethernet cable connects from the computer to a router (which also has the cable of my other computer), and the router is connected to the cable modem. Thanks in advance.
Distribution: Mandriva mostly, vector 5.1, tried many.Suse gone from HD because bad Novell/Zinblows agreement

Good or bad? I've tried every link you gave me, but it just cannot connect.
Do you mean you followed the instructions from these sites, and nothing work?
I cannot identify in the listing somehting that would be you ethernet card driver.
It might be there still and I do not know its name
type in a
su then your root password then
ifconfig -a
cat /etc/modules.conf
ifup eth0
dmesg | grep -i eth0 (trying to find out about your ethernet card)
dmesg | grep -i eth1
cut and past the whole result then type exit

I need to remember the command to find which driver is needed.
You need to describe symptoms and what you are doing exactly.
You have not answered my question about DNS
