ONBOOT=YES
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
then it tells me to press esc then type :wq! i get the error message
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg=eth0 E212:cannot open file for writing
PLEASE HELP

Hi, this DEVICE=etho should be DEVICE=eth0 as in zero. What editor are you using, and are you doing this as root or su -?
good luck.

have you tested the DSL setup option within SUSE's yast ?

I just used that and everything worked fine.
