I’ve been using Windows all my life and few days ago installed opensuse.
The computer is dualboot with XP and suse. XP can connect to internet with no problem

I’ve spent a lot of time looking for a solution. Other people seem to ask these stuff, so here you go:
Also I reinstalled opensuse (again) so its in the default settings I believe…
linux-fmvw:~ # ping 201.226.168.17
connect: Network is unreachable
linux-fmvw:~ # ping 8.8.8.8
connect: Network is unreachable
linux-fmvw:~ # ping 201.226.168.18
connect: Network is unreachable
201.226.168.17 I believe its the IP for the router or switch (dunno which, if it is)
201.226.168.18 is the IP for the computer I’m using now. This computer is connected to the same switch that the one with suse is connected. Both computers are on. the computers are connected to the switch, the switch is connected to the router which connects to the internet cable or something like that :
switch is D-Link
router zyxel prestige 600 series

/etc/resolv.conf file autogenerated by netconfig!
Before you change this file manually, consider to define the
static DNS configuration using the following variables in the
/etc/sysconfig/network/config file:
NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST
NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS
NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER
or disable DNS configuration updates via netconfig by setting:
NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=’’
See also the netconfig(8) manual page and other documentation.
Note: Manual change of this file disables netconfig too, but
may get lost when this file contains comments or empty lines
only, the netconfig settings are same with settings in this
file and in case of a “netconfig update -f” call.
Please remove (at least) this line when you modify the file!
