Mine is too!
Need a little help with getting cable modem to connect to the Net. Have Road Runner Modem feeding into a 4 port hub then 2 Windows Machines and 1 SuSE 7.3 box. Naturally the 2 Win machines were set up and running within 6 minutes but I've been 72 hours on the 7.3 machine with no luck.
I have a Road Runner Modem feeding into a 4 port switch with two Windows boxes and my Linux box.
I did have a 4 machine LAN started prior to scraping it and trying for the high speed Cable.
I followed the instructions on page 87 of the 7.3 "Network" book and page 68 of the "Configuration" book.
The ISP supplies a dynamic address thus I used DHCP and I did purchase 3 IP addresses.
Sounds like you did everything by the book. Don't take this the wrong way, but is your patch cable to the SuSE good? Have you switched it with one of the working Windows boxes'? I say this because you are not getting an internet address below on the second line. Since you were on a LAN, have you cleared any static IP addresses on the box? Have you checked your network properties in LinuxConf? Do you have a DHCP client running?
Here is output of ifconfig;
