Hi, last Thursday evening my DSL signal to my house went dead, and didn't come back. Today the repair man came and replaced a connection module in the box on the wall outside of my house. Voila, DSL signal tested good up to the modem next to the computer inside the house. But the DSL modem didn't show that there was a signal. So the repairman replaced the DSL modem with a new modem with integrated wifi, and I was able to log on to the internet in Win7, WinXP, but not openSuse. He left, and I thought that I just had to configure something in yast to make it work. But it's not working, and the settings seem to be correct for the network. I can't connect to the internet on any computer using openSuse with a wired connection. I can connect using wifi with my laptop, but even it won't connect with a wired connection to the internet.
I'm using opensuse leap 15.0 with KDE Frameworks 5.45.0.
I will need some help to resolve this, so thanks in advance.

Hi, I was able to find the problems in the configuration and resolved them. In Yast on the desktop computer, the network is controlled by wicked. The default device was listed as a "-" for IPv4Gateway and for IPv6Gateway. I selected eth0 as the device for both protocols, and then saved the configuration. Then the wired connection started to work. I checked the configuration one more time, and eth0 was no longer selected. It had gone back to "-". But it has stayed working regardless, and I have a wired connection to the internet.
On my laptop, when I checked the network configuration in yast previously, a separate configuration for eth0 did not appear. After several times of attempting to configure the network settings, a separate configuration for wlan and eth0 showed up in yast reflecting the different hardware in use. I edited each of them separately for their respective functions, and they work correctly now.
I left the settings overnight as described above, but they didn't remain in memory as set to eth0 in order to allow internet access after I shut the computer down last evening and restarted it this morning. I had to go back into yast to reset the settings to eth0 for IPv4 and IPv6 to get back on the internet. Can anyone advise me what file I need to modify to set this to eth0 for IPv4 and IPv6 permanently to allow internet access?
