Can't configure Network
I have used MS Windows for so many years but now I have been pushed to square one. I have been struggling with the configuration of Internet for some time, yet there are unclear questions. I am using dual boot with Suse 10. I am unsure of some aspects. Should the gateway address of the router for Suse differ from that of XP? Does one need two Network Cards? One for each OS.
This is the result of ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:Ge:c5:A8:25
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

/etc/resolv.conf gave this
/bin/sh: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied
I simply have not figured out yet, at what stage and in what places do I write in the information,
about IP, DNS details etc which has been availed by the ISP.

the names of your ISP's name servers go in /etc/resolv.conf. it's not an executable file, like your machine thought you were trying to do. open it in a text editor and see if you have nameserver info in there...

My own IP etc was not listed in the "resolv.conf". Here
are the details:
This is a temporary resolv.conf created by service dhcpcd.
The previous file has been saved and will be resolved later.
If you don't like your resolv.conf to be changed, you
can set MODIFY_{RESOLV_NAMED}_CONF_DYNAMICALLY=no. These
variables are placed in /etc/sysconfig/network/config.
You can also configure service dhcpcd to not to modify it.
If you don't like your dhcpcd to change your nameserver
settings then either set DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF=no
in /etc/sysconfig/nework/config or (manually) use dhcpcd
with -R. If you only want to keep your searchlist, set
DHCLIENT_KEEP_SEARCHLIST=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp
or (manually) use the -K option.

(Have no idea what 169.254.0.0. is.)
I think, it is going to take me quite some time to be weaned from the habit
of thinking that the whole world is like a giant Window. Tried to configure
DHCP and DNS router as well as DSL but my effectivity was negligible. I am
mentally still looking for some blank spaces where it says please write the
details provided by your ISP in this box. Those boxes are simply not their, or
I am lost in translation while going over from Windows to Linux.

Ask your ISP for their DNS and add them yourself to /etc/resolv.conf.

Sorry, I was not so precise in my explanation. I do have the information. But
being a newbie (and a bit slow on top of that) can't figure out yet, in which row
do I paste that info. You can see my resolv.conf above.
You probably haven't come across many like me before!!!

your own ip doesn't belong in resolv.conf, just the nameservers of your isp.

If you do have the information, then remove every line in /etc/resolv.conf and add yourself the information..you just need to add "nameserver" followed by the ip your ISP gave you.. je_fro left an example.
If you don't like your resolv.conf to be changed, you
can set MODIFY_{RESOLV_NAMED}_CONF_DYNAMICALLY=no. These
variables are placed in /etc/sysconfig/network/config.
Do that as well, open with a text editor the file /etc/sysconfig/network/config and change that.

At last I discovered that my modem was not on the approved list for Suse 10.
That could be the reason, for it not being "seen" anywhere. Well, I have retreated
to Ubuntu Breezer. After I have gained greater familiarity with the world of Linux,
perhaps then I will return to Suse again.
Thanks a bunch for all the help.
