You can configure the network device using YaST. The configuration for the device is stored in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-<device>. I hope you didn't muck up your original scripts.

SuSE has scripts beginning with "rc" that you can use to restart services. For example "sudo /sbin/rcnetwork restart eth0".

Open up the SuSE Help Center. The "reference (en)" manual covers setting up the network starting on chapter 18.
