With SUSE you can use YAST to configure most things.
Check Network Devices after starting YAST.
You will need to have the correct settings to enter.

what kind of settings do i need for the network so i can file sharing?

I am not sure what kind of "file sharing" you are meaning, but that is not important to your question about configuring your network card.
How are you connecting to the internet now, and what kind of network are you wanting to connect to with your NIC?
