I Cannot Connect The Internet Using Opensuse But I Can Connect With Ot

Dear Friend,

I want to use SUSE for STARCD, but the problem is I cannot connect to the internet using SUSE linux, I am a trully beginner in using linux. But when I try to use another linux like mandriva and ubuntu, I can connect the internet with the same IP configuration. I am using two OS, the other OS is Windows XP 64 bit.
The other strange thing is, after installing SUSE, I try to booting using Ubuntu dekstop by cd, and then after that I can connect the internet when I booting again using SUSE. BUt after restarting again directly to the SUSE, it wont connect to the internet. Do you know why is that?
Kindly help me with this, thanks a lot

regards

Hello sakti, first post: welcome here.

Please clarify:
Are you saying that if you boot to Suse after running windows on the same computer, you can't get internet? Are you suggesting there's a pattern involving using windows immediately before Suse?

Hi Swerdna

Yes, I found the connection between dual boot os and the ethernet card driver
I found the answer in here :http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Realtek_8169_driver_problem

Thank you for your attention

That's what I was getting at, needed clarification if that was the issue. Glad you got it sorted.
