Well heres my problem, im good with windows computers but have no idea about linux. OKay i installed the brand new OPENSUSE DVD, everything installed ok, but then i got to the internet problem, well connection problem. 1. I am going through a router to a att dsl modem. so i use a static ip as my desktop and my xbox 360 are both connected and both working fine, the router is a linksys etherfast cable/dsl router. my labtop is a acer with a realtek family Ethernet series model. so i tried just about everything and nothing works, so i switched to traditional and turned off the network manager, and it tried to load smpdd or something and couldnt get it from the dvd drive that was mounted even though i had used the drive 10 minutes ago to INSTALL THE OS. so them i went back to square one and tried a reinstall, but when i try to setup the connection on the install, the ip static doesnt work, i even plugged the thing directly into the modem and went to automatic dhcp settings- and still nothing. does anyone have any ideas?
I know you say you can’t get any internet connection, but does it show any errors?
well first off let me say thanks for taking interest, secondly except for the internet connection i have everything working, the odd part is, i can reach my modem and router, but i cant get firefox to bring up websites, i may make a separate question about this though, so i want to manually cofigre an ip with the addy 192.168.1.84, now my question is where do i go to do all that plus put in my router ip and gateway?

This Howto should help you setup your network.
http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susenic.html
You need to know your gateway address (normally the routers IP) and the IP’s
for your DNS servers. These DNS IP’s should be available from your ISP or
you can use the Google public DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

That’s basically what I was going to show. Good work on beating me to the reply!
Here are some screen shots of basically the same thing. I would strongly recommend using ifup if you are going to have a static IP you can do it with the default Network Manager, but I personally feel like I have more control with ifup
Just start YaST2 and go to the network devices and select network settings.
Best of luck

I concur on using ifup unless the computer is mobile.
