Don't kn ow anything about SUSE. However, if the NetworkManager daemon is running you may be getting a conflict. Make sure that the NetworkManager daemon is not running. There should be some kind of services menu to do this. Otherwise, you may have to modify what is in /etc/rc.d. ps aux | grep NetworkManager should show no processes. Also, make sure that your DHCP client software daemon is not running ps aux | grep dhcpcd should show no processes. You should now be able to set up your eth0 device with ifconfig and route manually. Don't forget to populate /etc/resolv.conf with the IP addressed of your DNS servers. [...]
