That is what I was attempting to explain. I did exactly as you stated above --several times-- and each time I can get the modem to connect but there is absolutely no throughput until I put the IP addresses in the 'Host name & name server configuration' list. Then, and *only* then, I get modem throughput ...but then the network is dead. Ditto, if I change the dhcp to static address in 'Network Address Setup'... whether or not I have any IP addresses in the 'Host name...' list.
First, to see what's causing this... find some nice IP address, that's located on the internet and write it down. Then use kppp to dial up your ISP, and send one ping to that IP address. $ ping -c 1 <IP> You should get an echo reply. The problem, is most likely related to that DNS doesn't get updated after kppp has started. Check to see if kppp is SUID, that is it must be running as root. Don't you get a message, first time you start kppp telling you this? I do.
Sorry if I am not completely articulate. I have had no problems setting up networking in the past, though I was not yet using SuSE, either. Now that I am, I cannot get the apparently mutually-dependent eth0 & ppp0 to operate independently. Even the 'ipconfig' output shows this:
