do:

cat /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info

If your network works in windows, compare the results
with the network settings there (ipconfig /all if I remember right)

Your Linksys router should be your dns server, so if you know the
ipnumber to your router (check with netstat -rn ) you can try
nslookup

> google.com

<ctrl>D

If the works, your /etc/resolv.conf was not updated by dhcp, fix that
with YaST.

Try to send more information, and more people will answer.
Example: when Uwe ask you to ping www.google.com he understand that it's
not working unless you have a bogus proxy configured, but if you send
the result, the problem can be solved, the answer "not working" can be
anything from it's still waiting for your prompt, to the machine
crashed. I guess you saw something when you did ping.
