The short answer: YaST.

What does /sbin/ifconfig say? Either eth0 or eth1 is the wroking card.
Also see that you know if you need DHCP or a fixed IP adress and see
that these are set correct in YaST.

Hi!

Thanks for your feedback.

By typing /sbin/ifconfig i get two 'devices' a lo and a wlan0.

My router is set to be a DHCP server.

OK. This is how this works. I ask a question and you answer it in such a
way that you asume that I have no idea what you see on your screen. I
know it is stupid that you must asume that and I am sorry I was not
clear in this. Entierly my fault.

Ok, my apologies!

Upon typing 'ifconfig' i got the following:
