If the torrents and downloads work and browsing doesn't it's probably just a bandwidth issue. In any case, just try this, go to YaST->Network Devices->Network settings
Click on Hostname/DNS tab

And enter the following DNS numbers

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

as Nameserver 2 and Nameserver 3

Make sure that the Routing tab contains the IP of your modem/router, which is usually 192.168.1.1
Click on Global options and ensure that Enable IPv6 is not checked.
Click Finish

^if you have iptables already configured before ,you may like to allow those DNS entries to communicate else it will stand still.

iptables -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 208.67.222.222 --sport 53 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 208.67.220.220 --sport 53 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT

^from lokkit entry of ubuntu.

Ty Praka, but if I am not mistaken, SuSE automatically adjusts it each time you save your network configuration, see this

Select Enable
Start IP address 192.168.1.2
End IP address 192.168.1.x
where x is any number from 3 to 254

Hi
This article is a bit old. As you can see it is for OpenSUSE 11.0. You can follow it provided you DO NOT use the readymade zip files I have enclosed with my post. Are you using OpenSUSE 11.1?
