      Have the router handle the connection and DHCP. Go into yast and
    locate the section for network card "Choose the setup method"
    I'm using "Automatic address setup (via DHCP). Click the next button
    Host name is set to the name of your computer. As you can see mine is
    P-733. Select a suitable Domain Name, don't use a real domain name
    unless you have it registered, even then I'm not sure if it won't cause
    problems, perhaps someone will know. Click the update name servers and
    search list via DHCP, for the Name Server your's will most likely be
    192.168.0.1, it's the same intranet address that you use to configure
    the router with. Click OK, and follow through to the end. That ought
    to do it.
