I have installed (install media is DVD) openSUSE 11.0 on Toshiba Sattelite Pro 4600 lapop. But my network was not automatically configured during installation.
After successful installation, I started manual configuration of the network (YAST->Network Devices->Network Settings). Under the Overview tab, I could see the following information:
Name = 82801BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller,
IP Address = DHCP,
MAC address = 00:00:39:0b:ac:3f,
Device Name = eth0
Will not be started at all
IP address assigned using DHCP
Now if I click on “Finish” button, “Saving Network Configuration” window appears and starts all the steps to save. But at “Activate network services” step, it gives an error dialogue box with following message:
“Cannot access installation media (Medium 1), check whether the server is available”

Hi
I would imagine if you go into YaST->Software->Software Repositories
and temporarily disable the online update sources (or delete, you can
add them back later) so that just your DVD is active, then try your
network setup again.
