Right. SuSe administration guide says: "The ppp and smpppd packages must 
be installed. It is best to use YaST for this purpose. Configure your 
network card with YaST. Do not activate dhcp. Set a fixed IP address 
instead, such as 192.168.2.22. "

try 195.238.2.21  skynet.be
But if you search google, you should be able to find your provider's dns.
