Linux SuSe 8.2

A year ago, a friend of mine who is very experienced with PCs both windows and Linux, partitioned my hard disk (C drive) and installed Suse 8.2 (windows XP on another partition). Broadband cable modem was set up using ethernet card and all seemed to work well. I was encouraged to try and work with SuSe 8.2 which seemed fine as a total beginner. I could open my Office XP data files saved on a seperate drive (D drive) from Suse. All seemed working well specially the Internet which seemed faster and safer. Until for some unknown reason to me the Ethernet Internet connection stopped working for both windows XP and Suse.

I managed to re-connect broadband on windows using USB connection but don't have a clue how to sort it out with SuSe. Without broadband connection on SuSe it became somewhat inconvenient to switch between windows and SuSe. I would like VERY much to switch away from windows due to viruses, crashing, etc. Any advice is highly appreciated.
