Cannot connect to internet after restarting from windows


I have windows xp and suse 9.2 installed. Everything goes ok, but after restarting from windows suse can't set up the network. It obtain the IP from DHCP, but when starting suse it says

"waiting for mandatory device 20 19 18 17..."
and then says that network couldn't be set up ("failed")

When i run yast everything looks ok, but kinternet shows me no option to connect. When i restart suse, it connects ok and the problem appears again when booting windows.

Please help me, i'm a newbie and really want to use suse (i tried mandrake before and it ran ok, but i like suse much better).
Sorry if someone asked this before, i couldn't find it anywhere. And sorry for the bad english, i hope anyone understands it...

trying disconnecting the internet connection in windows before starting in SuSE. Might have something to do with your previous internet session not being terminated correctly by windows
