Can someone tell me the exact steps they took?

I haven't connected a SuSE box directly to @home, but I have gotten it to work with Mandrake and Slackware. You need the dhcpcd daemon, which should be on your CD set somewhere. If you have Comcast @home like I do, you'll need to pass them the computer name they gave you to the dhcpcd daemon when you invoke it:

$ dhcpcd -h AA1234-A

(replace AA1234-A with your computer name). Before you do this, your interface needs to be set up with the correct IP address.
