i've just installed my firt Linux (SUSE 10). went throught install basically ok. but now have some issues to resolve. i'll make separate threads for each. here's one of 'em:
I don't have internet connection.
* on the same computer i have Win98 and Win2k3 installed (multi-boot), both have connection to the i-net.
* im on cable internet through router (home lan)
* im a newbie
when i type any address in Konquerer it tellms "unknown host" of something like that.
please, point me to a direction what to check, install (i didn't install EVERYTHING of those 5 CDs, its possible i missed something needed), etc. to connect to internet.
Thanks in advance!

SUSE Linux 10
KDE 3.4.2 level "b"
Release 2.6.13-15-default
For the newb part, you need to do this:
ALT+F2, konsole, type "su", type your password, type "/sbin/lspci", type "/sbin/ifconfig", type "/sbin/lsmod". and post everything back here. (copy it to a file, to a floppy, then get in windows then post it here)
unfortunatelly no floppy drive on that PC, and i still didn't figure out how to see+use my Windows drives (i know SAMBA has something to do with it, but it appears not to be running, and i didn't figure out how to run it).
so i printed out the reults of those commands and typed below some of the results, skipping stuff thats deffinately not networking related and hopefully not that important for you to see. ifconfig results are complete.
skipped anything that included snd, radeon, button, battery, usb, ide, agp, gameport, processor, parport, and sizes as those didn't seemed related to the problem.
hopefully this is enough, if not i'll type up the rest. thanks.
The realtek 8029 is a pretty common, and usually easily compatible little network card in linux. My guess is the configuration is off. You do not have an ip address, just the internal loop, which means you need to check your settings in the configuration in sax2. You may need to set some things you don't in Windows like gateway, DNS servers, even possibly an IP address if DHCP is just flatout not working. It also may not be starting at boot, but manually, which would be a problem.
I had the same issue so here is what I did, if you are new like me and are able to get around linux you should be able to do this:
Find the IP address of your router and then....................
To edit network settings:
Go to the K Menu button and click it
Next go to System on the menu
Then to Control Center YaST
Then after that opens click on Network Devices
Then click on Network Card
When the config menu opens you should see your network card
Click the edit button and then manually configure it.
My settings on the Linux box are: for the PC 192.168.1.xxx Subnet 255.255.255.0
The DNS Server is my router at 192.168.1.1.
Under Routing configuration I have: Destination: 192.168.1.1
and for Gateway: 192.168.1.1
