I use Mandriva Linux here, so I do not know much about the Suse System Management Software. IIRC, YAST is the main tool, similar to the Windows XP Control Center. It should have a network configuration tool. You should be able to use it to set up your network connection. Since you have a linksys router between your computer and the dsl modem, the router handles the PPPoE protocol for you. The only thing you have to worry about is connecting the computer to the router, so keep it simple :). I will assume this is NOT a wireless connection. Set up a standard network connection to the router using DHCP configuration. The Linksys router will have a LAN IP address of 192.168.1.1 (also your gateway address). Your host name can be anything you want it to be (your Linksys router does not care what it is). If you do not have a specific name in mind, you can simply use computer. To connect using DHCP, you may need to install a DHCP client package. I do not know if the network configuration tool will install it for you. If you can not make your connection work with DHCP, you can set up a static IP address for your computer. To set up a static network connection, you need: A subnetmask A Default Geteway address An IP address One or more DNS server addresses (usually two or three) A hostname By default, your Linksys router provides a standard class C (IPv4) network with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and is your Default Gateway with a LAN IP address of 192.168.1.1. Your static IP address can not be used by any other device connected to the network, and should fall within the same subnet as the router 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255. 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address and can not be used by any device connected to the network. When you enabled the router's DHCP service, you set the number of computers that will connect to the router. If this number was three, the DHCP service will assign up to three IP addresses beginning with 192.168.1.100. Your computer's static IP address must NOT fall within that range, which for three computes is 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.102. If you do not know the DNS server IP addresses for your ISP, you can get this information from one of your Windows computers, or with a partial Linux network configuration. In Windows XP click Start > Run, enter cmd and click OK to get a command prompt. At the prompt, enter ipconfig /all. In Linux, set up your network connection temporarily with no DNS server addresses. Open a WEB browser, and enter 192.168.1.1 then press Enter. In the Linksys router page, click the status tab. The DNS server IP addresses obtained by the router for your Internet connection will be displayed near the bottom of the page. Set up your network connection again including the DNS server IP addresses. As with the DHCP configuration, your host name can be anything you want.
