    post the output of ifconfig, the result of pinging your router (either 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.2.1). finally, what network card do you have?
    Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
    Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
    Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

    ifconfig results: Link encap: :Local Loopback
    Inet addr:127.0.0.1 mask 255.0.0
    UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:1643 Metric:
    no RX or TX packets

    Ping results:
    Network is unreachable


    What should I do?

    Command not found (ifconfig eth0 up)

    dhcpcd done, but it is still saying network is unreachable?

    lspci returns:
    00:6.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)


    Can't run lsmod, because it won't show me all the info and I cannot get Xorg to work for me.

    it should look something like this. What you have posted is incomplete at best. Please try to get the whole output of that command.

    If it doesn't all show up on your screen you can put it in txt.file like this then paste and copy.

    ifconfig -a >> ifconfig.txt

    then open up ifconfig.txt with the less command

    less ifconfig.txt
