Hi All, I'm a linux newbie who just installed suse 9.0 pro on a desktop that I built (new to all of this). Suse doesn't recognize the ethernet port on my motherboard during the initial installation, and i can't seem to get the set up right using Yast2. So here is my system: Athlon XP 2500+ Asus A7N8X (which is suppose to be fully supported for Suse according to the hardware support page) liteon DVD/ CDRW combo drive. I am dual booting w/ windows XP, home edition (it recognizes my connection) I have DSL connection through Comcast. I don't believe there is an issue w/ my internet provider because when I installed Suse onto my labtop, it recognized the hardware & also my internet connection w/o any problems or additional software. I installed the linux drivers that came w/ the motherboard.. but still no connection. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.. oh, & if you can be pretty thorough on your explaination (ie... please type out commands if they are not common) since i'm kinda knew to all of this. thanks alot, Vu
