I had a lot of problems getting my @home connection to work, but they were not Linux related. Here are the steps that I took to get my Suse Linux 6.2 box working with @home. 1. configure your NIC. I did this with a static configuration because my local DHCP server is usually down. Just take to static IP address and subnet mask that you have in Windows and enter them accordingly in Yast. 2. set your hostname. Like you, I was not sure what my FQDN was. I ended up just using C123456-a. I noticed that Suse somehow added alton1.il.home.com to the hostname, which is the hostname I entered when I set up my DNS. Therefore I am guessing that you can use the hostname they gave you, and the domainname that you use for you DNS in Windows. That worked for me, and I hope that it helps you.

A big congrats to you. Just wish I could do the same. So you didn't bother with dhcpcd? Stuck with dhclient? Did you do much or most of the config in Yast? Hope you don't mind the questions, I'd love to get it working.
Is your host name the c123456-a that @home assigned? And your domain name is what? The full FQDN? Or just something like home,com?
I just can't understand what the problem is. My NIC seems to be working fine, but I can't get an IP. Even when I tried to configure it as a static IP. Yet it all works fine in Windows, even when I installed a Win2k, had @home up in minutes.
If you can figure out what you did, or any ideas at all, please pass them on to me, and even post them somewhere as a howto. This has been a bitch.
