Router connection problem - SuSE 9.2

Hi,

I recently installed SuSE 9.2 on AMD64 and the network card has been
detected correctly. I connect to a Speedtouch router through an ethernet
cable which has a good connection to the internet via MS Windows. The SuSE
firewall is switched off.

I can't get access to the router, not to say the internet. I have tried
pinging the router but get message "Network is unreachable". I've trawled a
few newgroups and have established you need to run ifdown, ifconfig and ip
addr so here is the output from these:

-- ifdown ---
eth0 device: 3Com Corporation 3c940 10/100/1000Base-T [Marvell]

Starting DHCP Client Daemon on eth0... . . . . . no IP address yet...
backgrounding.

Can anyone decipher these and perhaps point me at the rows that may be
causing the problem.

Much appreciated,

David
