The default settings for most Linksys routers start the DHCP addresses at
192.168.1.100 so make sure your fixed IP is 192.168.1.xx where xx is 01-99.
Then just go into Yast and click on network and configure your card to use a
fixed ip.

You might have to put a gateway address which should be 192.168.1.1.

That should do it.

Just configure the NIC to use a static IP, instead of DHCP. One thing you
have to do, is make sure the address used is not one covered by the range
of addresses issued by the DHCP server in the router.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

When I did this, I turned off DHCP on the router and gave each PC it's own
static address. 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.101, etc and to do that on your
Suse machine you need to go into Yast2, network card and enter the address
manually. Hope this helps. I think you have to enter the address of the
gateway, too. I'd have a look, but I'm on a Windows machine atm.

Just use YAST! Under network adapters use static ipadress instead of DHCP!

Do you mean static outward facing IP address so that your Ip resolves to
a domain name, eg <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.fred.com," target="_blank">www.fred.com,</a> or do you just mean a static IP address
on you local lan

If you mean the former, first of all you need an ISP that provides you
with atleast 1 static IP address.

This should ideally be assigned to your router as you network IP
address, you then have all your computers get local address 192.168.x.x,
or 10.10.x.x etc, and port forward to one of these machines. This can
all be done via DHCP from your router, and can even be configured to
allow each machine to get a static local IP, by having the DHCP server
always give each MAC address the same IP address

Once you can resolve to a global static IP from the outside, configure
your router to port forward to which ever machine on your local lan is
running your web server.

So if you static ip address is 1.2.3.240, and you have 2 machines on the
local lan 192.168.1.2 ( desktop ), and 192.168.1.3 ( wwww ), port
forward 1.2.3.240:80 to 192.168.1.3:80
