I have had a similar problem with my old Dell.  
I use 10.0.
Startup computer, make room for installation of Suse.
Shutdown computer, and unplug ethernet cable to dsl-modem.
Install Suse from cd's or dvd.
Reboot to check if dual boot works.
Plug ethernet cable back in; internet connection works also in Suse....

hope this helps.

regards,
Roeland
