Hi all,
don't kill me for this one now... I have tried and tried searched
Internet but I can not understand what is wrong. My work computer has
SuSE 9.3 and I've been trying to share a dir to my private Windows
2000 Professional machine. What I wanted to do was to set the IP of
the SuSe to static.
After booting the SuSe it won't connect to internet but it has access
to my local network. How is this possible?

I have two suggestions. I could not connect to the internet at work until I changed my MTU to 1490. As root:

ifconfig eth1 mtu 1490

If that does not do it for you, try setting your gateway to the address used by the router, probably 192.168.111.1
