  1. A long story short, my windows XP crashed my whole system and I had to rebuild from the ground up. A friend gave me a copy of Suse 9.2 but is just as clueless as I am when it comes to LAN connections and cable modems. The Suse help info said that my computer should auto detect the ISP and all should be good. Well it ain't. I had to make the computer a dual boot (with winXP) so that I could get online though my windows partition to seek out help. Here's what I know so far: I have a cable modem (Motorola SB5100) connected to the computer through an ethernet line. Suse recognizes the network eth0 card and will let me configure it. I have tried to have the DHCP auto detect with no luck. I have tried putting in the existing static IP addresses (gathered from windows) with no luck. Looking back at dmesg I find: eth0: no IPv6 routers present. However I never configured the routers set up in YaST. The LAN line on my computer is integrated into an ABIT NF7-S2 motherboard. Any hints, tips, or fixes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brian ;( ;(
