Hey All 

So I figured it out... I must extend a big thanks to Donald for his
assistance.  So it was a problem w/ my  modules.config file located in
/etc/modules.config.
Even though I did use Yast2 to install the Nvidia drivers, it never changed
the module.config file.
if you have this problem, login as root & view the file w/ your favorite text
editor.  Search for "eth0".. there should be two entries for it.  Make sure
they both read:
alias eth0 nvnet

After I changed that & rebooted.. bammm.... internet connection!
man.. it feels good to have worked that out..
once again, thanks to all those who responded..

cheers,
vu
