Okay, this is not the first time I have had this problem. I decided to install OpenSuse 11.0 on top of Windows dual boot, and the Linux OS won’t connect to the Internet but Windows will. Any ideas?

OpenSUSE is a built more for corporate use, I’d really recommend getting Ubuntu if you don’t wish to configure everything to get it to run.. Search your ethernet card’s / wireless card’s name on google, and look for the linux drivers, there should definately be guides floating around, hit and miss sometimes though. Done it before many times..
