What are the correct steps for connectivity ?

I have set up 3 different PCs now connected to our personal LAN and I have to fumble and try a lot of different places before I get it working.

We have 2 scenarios.

1) Ethernet wired to the modem/router.
2) Wifi connected to a different access point.

I don't know where to start, so I usually start in yast, then he tells me something about Network manager is the proper place. I go to NWM, take a look at the connections, and there is nothing listed under either the wired or wireless.
So it's back to yast where I pick an option traditional method "IFUP".
Somehow, that gets me connected though wired still shows nothing. After, I can switch to NWM and it seems to work.

Arggggg, there must be a better way so,,,,
Can you either spell them out for me, cookbook style, or point me to a link about openSUSE networking for
DUMMIES.

I am forever in your debt.
