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:

So, your router should be on:
What happens when you enter this in your browser?

Exactly what I was going to suggest. It looks like the default route (gateway) should be 10.0.0.2 and should be set automatically for you from the DHCP server. Try cat /etc/resolv.conf and report the results here. You may not have DNS info set up. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
