Hello all I am a newbie at Linux OS and i can’t configure
my internet connection settings at linux openSUSE11(ip, dns etc.)
I have a cable connection (no router- modem!!! ) and i was wondering if anyone could tell me step by step what i should do.
ps meanwhile i have also windows xp and i have no problem connecting from windows that means that i don’t have any problem with my connection.
thank you in advance :)

Assuming your modem/router doesn’t do DHCP (unlikely, but oh well) you
can get the settings from your windows system (Start: Run: cmd then run
ipconfig /all) and then put those settings in your Linux system. Run
sudo /sbin/yast and then go to Network Devices: Network Card, and
configure your network the same way you have windows setup.
Specifically make sure you put in your Gateway (modem/router IP
probably), DNS (whatever your ISP gives you, but may also be your
modem/router IP), IP address and subnet (specific to the computer).
Good luck.

Here’s a few pics to help:
HowTo Configure a network card in Suse/openSUSE 10, 11 for LAN and Internet Access.
For the settings recommended by ab@novell.com, check Pics 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
you also haven’t said if you are using gnome or kde. if gnome, then just right-click on the network manager applet on the system tray. and go to ‘edit connections’. there ‘add’ a new connection and feed in all the information in the various tabs.
you are right my friend i am using kde.
thank u all for the replies to my problem…
i’ll give it a try and i’ll let u know
thanks again 
Hi All,
I have similar problem - cannot connect to internet with SUSE 11.2 KDE while Windows can. I transfered all network parameters from windows. Where else could be the problem? :-/
Please clarify:
Other parameters and ticks I placed according snapshots from here: Configure a network card in Suse/openSUSE 11.x for Internet Access & wifi.
Firewal: External Zone.
Thanx
That looks quite correct. To look deeper, please run these test commands in a console window and paste the results back here:
When you paste back, try to place the results between code tags, using the # button in the “go advanced” editor.
I’m another newbie using opensuse11.2 64Bit and KDE 3.6.1 with a similar problem as the person who started this thread. I’m attempting to connect with a wired LAN (no router or modem). Running the commands above return

You have not configured your network at all. No IP.

Hello robin_listas, thanks for the timely reply. I thought suse does automatic configuration of the network during the OS installation. How do I do it manually?

It does if you tell it to do it and your network is prepared for that.
Meaning: you choose automatic network configuration in YaST, and you have a
properly configured DHCP server in your network.

YaST, for example.
