I just installed Suse 10.0 from the CD's--I can't boot from DVD, for some reason--and I can not reach the internet. 9.2 worked. 8.2 worked. 10.0--zip. Maybe it's due to the firewall that is installed automatically? I have a Linksys router with a firewall, I don't know why I need one from Linux. This is the same machine, and as you see, the Windows connection to the net works fine. I'm not a computer maven, so I would appreciate a solution in words of one syllable. I just installed 10 on my laptop at home (using a static IP through a Linksys box), tested both DHCP and Wireless, set up multiple profiles. Upon arrival at my hotel, the system came up, connected to their internal network with no problem. I also configured a local printer since we had a DeskJet in our conference area. The only issue I had was on printer detection, and it may be more my impatience. -- Jerry Feldman
