Sorry.
This is what I get when i type ifconfig (I'm not getting any ip address now):
No you certainly aren't. There appear to be a few packets flowing but not many, probably just dhcp requests. Shutdown suse firewall if you are running it. Check your physical connections (wires, etc). Then open two shell windows (as root). In one, type tail -f /var/log/messages In the other: ifdowm eth0 followed by ifup-dhcp eth0 And watch the results. What kind of nic is that anyway? I can't get a match on that mac address in any database. It almost seems like you have a dribble connection, where a few packets get through but not enough for a connection. Often this happens with 10/100 nics that don't negotiate very well. (3com)

However, when I type ifconfig in the console, it gives me an ip address.
And what IP is that?
What happens when you type route?
A little specificity wouldn't hurt.
