    Hi,

    What about DNS? Did you specify any DNS at all? You can go to YaST under the
    start menu/System and check the network settings there or

    You can open a terminal window and try:

    host -t a www.google.com

    to see if it will resolve. The dns entries are stored in /etc/resolv.conf
    (you can check that file to see if they are correct). Check also your
    default gateway (netstat -rn).

    Also, try enabling DHCP for a moment. I'm pretty sure you're DSL modem will
    assign you the ip and the rest of required info. Once you know it works, you
    can then specify your configuration manually.

    Hope that helps,
    Jorge
