Did you install the drivers when you installed SuSE and configured the network card(wired)???

If not then open up YaST(administrator settings)
---> click on Network Devices
---> click on "Network Card"

And configure the network card.

If you connect your computer directly to a modem then that's going to be your next step. If you tell us whether you use a DSL modem or cable modem maybe someone can help you configuring it.

I connect my cable modem to a router and my PC's use the router to share the internet so all I do is configure the network card to get an IP automatically.

If you want to test if your network card is installed correctly then ping 127.0.0.1. If you see continous replies then press Ctrl-C--> you know your network card is installed correctly.

Now you have to configure it correctly with your DSL or cable modem.
