We will need some more info to be able to help you establish the internet connection.

Did you test the connection with for example a Windows PC? Sure it’s working?

Which openSUSE did you install?
What architecture (32/64 bit) does your system have?
Can you start the system and run the desktop?
Was the system connecting during install, i.e. did you perform an online update at the end of install procedure?

Please post answers and we’ll try to help you.
