I'd like to thank everyone for their patience and help and though I'm a "newbie" I'd like to share my findings. After a lot of research... I found that many users especially in US or fairly developed places, have a couple computers. Networking is common. We user routers and often have internet connections through another computer or Modems that are always 'on' and just require the local area network set up. LAN. I actually have two but am selling one and that's because it's too heavy.I replaced it with a notebook as I sometimes have to move from place to place. I am happily "now" writing from this machine. The test machine with SuSE 10.1 on it. In the DSL set up instrutctions it mentions something. "KInternet". A tool. I couldn't find it anywhere. Finally I did a search on it. It was on the CD but just didn't load. Well, like in a Winduds box where U have a modem that requires a password to conenct to DSL, U have to "turn it on" I added the KInternet tool and here I am. Turned it on and went right online. (OK after about 5hrs of trying to figure it out.) Also I have now learned other ways to turn it on and am thankful for that knowledge on my path to LinuX competence. I found the article in a search for KInternet. Basically same as the set up but add the Kinternet tool to turn on and off your ADSL connection. Thanks guys. I am not sure where else to post it. (If anyone else is using that Live DvD of SuSE 10.1 that thing is seriously crippled. Everything currently works well in my Installation.) Peo Nilsson wrote:

I am basically being told: DHCP client off ??? I really don't understand this? Why is it OFF? Is there a command Line or any other way to turn it ON? Configure it? IF the DHCP client is configured when I set up the card isn't it supposed to be activated?
yast => Network Devices => Network Card IP Adress= DHCP
