Hi Ken,
Got a new problem, I guess it is. I did fine with your instructions, hooked everything up, and even got to the webpage of the modem. Entered the info necessary, connected fine (I even heard it dial up and connect), but when I tried to get to my homepage afterwards (yahoo.com), it couldn't find it. Anything I tried to navigate to wouldn't come up. I then went into YaST, network devices, NIC, and started to do stuff with adding gateway and router numbers and stuff. Now, it won't even come up to the modem webpage at all. I deleted the NIC, and started fresh and didn't touch anything...like the very first time...but it still won't come up to the modem webpage. Am I supposed to tell the NIC to route or gateway or something? I did an ifstatus eth0, and got this:
linux:/home/me # ifstatus eth0 eth0 device: Linksys NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 (rev 11) eth0 configuration: eth-id-00:12:17:50:ea:a0 dhcpcd running 2: eth0:

Looks like your machine obtains all the info needed. So, your router should be on: http://10.0.0.2/ What happens when you enter this in your browser? Sunny
What am I supposed to do with this stuff? How do I make the NIC let info back 'from' the modem to my browser and vice versa?
Sorry if these are not decent questions, but as I said earlier, this networking stuff just gives my brain the fits and I feel it melt into a blob of jello trying to figure it all out.
