Further explination- My windows PC is on the second floor and on a wireless connection. I have a second PC that has linux and windows on it and it doesent have a wireless card. I will eventually take of the windows on the second PC. To get internet on this PC with Suse I want to connect it by using my other PC if possible. So is there is some way to do this… well then help please. If you think you have a method that will work then I’m open to try that too.

The only way to do it is to use a router. I have a similar set-up in my house.
Linux and Windows are very incompatible, so you’ll have to use a direct connection to your router to allow Linux to get to the net. Any other way would involve emulators and such…you can do it, but you’d be trading convenience for processor speed and memory.
Ditto what the other guy said. You need to get a router to share your Internet connection for the two computers. The Linux box needs to be direct-connected to the router. Since the Windows PC is wireless connected, you will need to make sure the router is also an AP.
