[ale] Problem connecting to internet

[Nathan J. Underwood]

Dow,

	Nothing really, it's just the one that I'm familiar with.  I would 
assume the syntax would be very similar, and the outcome the same (the 
machine would have an IP).  In the config for that interface (is it 
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ethX on SuSE), is the card setup 
correctly (onboot, dhcp, etc.)?
