We have a slight misunderstanding here. I'll try to be clearer (wouldn't be difficult).
1. Write down on a piece on paper the IP address of the primary and secondary DNS servers provided by your cable operator. 2. Click on the console icon - if you are using KDE, that's the third icon from the left at the bottom of the screen. Looks like a screen with a shell on it. 3. type the following commands: su <you are prompted for the root password - type it in> kwrite /etc/resolv.conf <enter the nameserver addresses like: nameserver primary.ip.addr nameserver secondary.ip.addr> 4. Save and exit from the editor Now if your ip address, subnet and gateway are set up as mentioned earlier, you should have internet access.
