    Your thoughts got me thinking and I found the answer in YaST by unclicking
    the update name servers and search list via DHCP. I entered in the correct
    ones and it works great now. Funny that my new modem puts in bogus info when
    that is clicked. Luckily I was able to access the modems setup features and
    find the true name server addresses. Maybe it's a 64-bit issue?

    Thanks for the help.

    Standard network stuff:
    First, make sure you can ping the gateway using ip address. This
    ascertains that you can get out of the box.
    Next, ping a local address within your ISP if your know them, such as
    DNS servers.
    If you can't, then your routing table:
    netstat -nr.

    Then make sure you have the correct DNS servers set up. You can do this
    via YaST or just edit /etc/resolv.conf
    Many times, the problem is simply that you don't have any DNS servers
    configured.
