On the hda is Windows XP, on hdb is 4 partition for Linux. SuSE Linux 10.1 was on partition hdb6. After wrestling with SuSE to get it recognized by the 19 in. monitor it worked fine.

So went back to SuSE and tried the other Live CD's I got at the same time. Liked Ubuntu 6.06.1 so decided to install it. After the install tried to setup my DSL but could fine only info on setting up a dialup connection. So closed down Ubuntu and restarted in SuSE and all I got on the screen was “Frequency out of range” and could not see anything of SuSE on the screen

Are you sure it does not already work?   Did you try to browse the internet?

If sure then what type of network card do you have?
  lspci
will show all the devices in the system.  The NiC can be seen in that
list.  then you can check for a driver based on the nic.

does suse have a rescue mode?  try looking for multiple xorg.conf files
in /etc/X11/.  An upgrade may have made changes to the system.

does yast have an ncurses mode?  you might try running yast at the
command line to re-configure X.
