I just recently loaded SuSE and everything looks great except I cant get onto the internet. Previously with my other linux distro (Redhat 9) it did it all for me...so I quess I never paid enough attention to what modules/process' are needed. SuSE found and configured my NIC but regardless of what I've tried...no luck.
I have disabled the firewall...no luck.
I have looked for protocols that I know I need to get connected (using a cable modem) via YaST (Network Services) but again...no luck
I have entered my static IP address that WinXP says I have...no luck
I have switched to DHCP...no luck
Which modules or process' must be loaded for eth1 to work?
see if that works. you should be able to ping, and if you do "ifconfig" again after step 1, your ethernet device should be listed along with the loopback you posted. if it doesn't work, you'll have to find out what drivers your ethernet card takes and load them. post back if you have any trouble.

my onboard ethernet (eth0) is disable...I prefer to use eth1...while using a static IP should I still run the cmd dhcpcd?....does using eth1 make a difference in your instructions?...and thanks for your reply
YaST says the device exists and allowed me to configure it....does this mean the drivers are not being loaded....I notice at boot-up that eth1 'fails' every time. Does this mean a module/process isnt loaded or perhaps again the drivers? Please advise and thanks for your time.
