    Help needed to configure the network - SUSE 10.2...

    Hi everyone!

    I have just installed SUSE 10.2 and everything seems fine but I am having difficulties to set up the internet conection. The problem is that my PC should obtain its IP address via DHCP and it is not Static. I am using cable connection and I need to authenticate with username and password every time I need to connect to the Internet. The protocol used should be PPPoE. Can somebody tell me what should I do to configure SUSE to use such type of connection? Thank you!

    as far as i know PPPOE is used for DSL connections you will have to select the DHCP for cable connection try that

    Yes, I did this! The problem is that I also have to authenticate with username and password. I used Mandriva previously but decided to try SuSe as well. In Mandriva you can modify the configuration file of rp-pppoe (roaring penguin - point-to-point protocol over ethernet) and enter the service name, pasword etc. In SuSe 64-bit I cannot find the rp-pppoe file in usr\src\linux to modify it. What should I do? I turned off IPv6 this does not work. I have also tried to configure DSL connection through a modem but this doesn't work either. My PC cannot obtain an IP via DHCP. Any ideas?

    I think I have a similar problem, but with one difference: I'm a n00b at linux. I have just installed Suse 10.2. I have a ethernet card integrated into my motherboard. I also have a cable connection to the net. My PC is connected to the cable modem by ethernet. To connect, I have to use a username and password. My IP address is attained via DHCP.
    I can't seem to find some kind of connection creation application in Suse. In Windows, all I have to do is select "Broadband connection using username and password" in the "Add new connection" wizard. How do I connect to net in Suse?

    Could someone please help?

    did u try 2 manually configure the ip address rather than getting it from DHCP coz it worked for me. firstly configure ur network card manually with ipaddress,subnet mask,gateway and name server of isp ,then create a new dsl connection with a custom provider.After everything is done use

    Code:
    # ifup /dev/dsl0
    replace dsl0 with appropriate dsl conn no
