Internet Not Working

I just did a fresh install of openSUSE 10.3 32bit on a old system. I decided to go KDE even though I usually use gnome. Anyways It uses onboard internet and I'm connected to DSL with a modem to a 4 way router. It works good on my computer (newer, gnome) but on the old computer it isn't working. I then tried installing a old network card I have but that didn't work either. Would anyone know how to fix this?

thanks.

I assume it's a wired ethernet card with cable to the router, is that right?

sorry for the long wait I was very busy. I have a internet card but I don't have it installed currently. I have the onboard one running which connects (wired not wireless) to a D-Link router which conects to the modem (DSL) which should work (works on this linux computer)

here are the results:

Hi
You have a standard, widely used and quite good on-the-board ethernet interface. The interface isn't receiving an IP address. It probably needs to be configured in Yast. Try his pictorial tutorial:
HowTo Configure a network card in Suse/openSUSE 10.x for LAN and Internet Access

Try first the series titled Dynamic IP Setup I - The Suse/openSUSE Defaults. Pics 1 to 6 inclusive.
Then see if you can connect to the internet. If you can't then retry su and ifconfig again to see whether you're getting an IP address. If you are getting IP but no internet, you will need to change your configuration to the second series entitled Dynamic IP Setup II - Manually set Gateway & Name Resolution where you use Pics 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8

Good luck
Swerdna

I tried the #1 setup from the link you gave me. But all the settings were already like that. Then I tried setting the settings similar to this computer but it still doesn't work.

Check the connectivity between network card port and the ethernet port on the router. You have a proven ethernet cable attached to the computer you call "this computer". maybe try unplug it from "this computer" and plug it into the old computer. I've seen that happen so often that a port or a cable is a dud. It's probably not the ethernet port on the old computer because using a different card you tried and that of course brought into play the different port on that card (hmmm -- powers of coincidence-- maybe that one's too abstruse). Anyway give that long bow a go.

It still doesn't work.

Also:

when the cable is pluged in in this computer (the one I'm using right now) the internet port has a green LED on the back that flashes. On the computer which the internet doesn't work the green LED on the back doesn't flash but stays solid.

Also when I go to the internet on the computer that the internet doesn't work (firefox) it says could not connect or whatever but the cursor still has the loading thing.

I am defeated on this. We need more ideas. One last thought: do you get flashing light with the plug-in alternative ethernet card. And if you try that card, should you perhaps disable the realtex in the BIOS?
