Unable to set up internet

[cherev]

I’m new to linux

I'm having trouble setting up my internet connection

I have cable internet. The laptop is connected directly to the modem (no router, no wireless).

I just installed suse 10.0 from dvd onto my laptop

When I use YAST to go network devices network card, an Ethernet card is detected.

It said it was unconfigured so I chose to edit:

Device Type: Ethernet

Setup method: Autom. Addr. Sett (via DHCP)

Host Name and Name Serv Conf:
Checked “change host name via DHCP”
Checked “update name servers and search list via dhcp”

Routing: didn’t do anything here

Advanced-> Hardware Details: checked pcmcia

Advanced-> DHCP client options: checked request broadcast response

Advanced->Detailed Settings: selected “at boot time”; checked “user controlled”; selected “external zone”

Advanced-> Additional addresses: nothing

I have no internet, googled for solutions here and there, no luck.

I’m hoping to get some tips.

Hello and Welcome.
Please post the output of this command.

lspci -knn

[tpl]

well, if you know the name of the interface--eth0, for example--
you could use these commands:

ifconfig eth0 up
dhclient eth0

as root in a terminal

Ok. Tnx for the feedback.

lspci -knn-> invalid option --k

//

How can I find out what the name of the interface is?

cheers

How can I find out what the name of the interface is?

In a terminal, just type ifconfig. Should show the interface which is likeley eth0.
