What happens when you go into Yast? Is the device not listed or something?
Try the command line and use sudo or login as root, depends on your system.

Code:

 ifconfig eth0 up

Code:

 dhcpcd eth0

**jlmiller** · 02-12-2011

answer these questions first:
1) Is dhcp setup on the router or do you want it setup on this unit?

2) if this is a server and you have dhcp installed test it with:
ps auxf | grep dhcpd

if you get only a single line output it's not running:
ex: ps auxf | grep dhcpd
root 5539 0.0 0.0 3232 728 pts/1 S+ 08:42 0:00 \_ grep dhcpd

this indicates that dhcp is not running, therefore if you have dhcp installed and running on your router which I suspect it is based on the fact that you can plug your PC into it and it works.

What you need to do is either:
a) setup the suse to be a dhcp client
or
b) hard code a IP Address on the Suse system

Is this Suse unit supposed to be a server? if so then you will want to "hard code" the IP address. Go through yast to do this.

Another option is to hardcode this yourself by going to /etc/sysconfig/network
see if there is a file named ifcfg-eth0, if so open it with vi.
check that the contents resembles this one:

BOOTPROTO='static'
IPADDR='192.168.2.249/24'
BROADCAST='192.168.2.255'
LLADDR='00:15:17:c4:c3:ec'
STARTMODE='onboot'
NAME='82575EB Gigabit Network Connection'

hope this helps.
