OK dude here's your answer to the cable internet connection question. I have a connection with AT&T and I believe the different providers work much the same way. Here's a link to SuSE's solution. This is what worked for me but I will explain it some more... http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/leah_all_dhcp_with_at_home.html First you need to set up your network card but Do Not activate it. Do this through yast1. This should be fairly easy. Now find out what your "computer name" should be. This is the name the cable access provider has you enter in the computer name field in network properities of windows. Find out what this name is and then try the following line: dhcpcd -h c113@blah eth0 where cll3 is your computer name blah is the workgroup and eth0 is your network card. Then test your connection by issuing a ping command to some server like this... ping www.suse.com if you get results your good to go. Check out that link above fore more info. Basically what you're doing is sending the dhcp server the correct name and workgroup. Otherwise it will send it your real computer name, the name you gave it when you installed linux. This won't work, you have to force the name in the dhcp command above. Write back if you have any more trouble. CD __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
