Internet won't connect (cable modem)

I got SuSE 8.2 installed on my PC that also has WinXP Pro on it. It is set
up as dual boot (no floppy required) and my internet connection is
configured and working fine in WinXP. In Linux, when I did the initial
installation it detected my ethernet port (Asustek 3com 3c90X) and I set it
up to automatically detect IP address, my hostname is set to Comcast and
domain is set to Comcast.net. I'm not sure if I'm missing something easy or
if I'm just going about this the wrong way.

Any help is appreciated.
