Then you definitely downloaded the wrong file. If you follow the link given to you by quanta you will see that there is a package for openSuse 11+. Download that and install it.

Try to connect using a linux machine.
You will be redirected depending your OS
Or use

A little research would have shown you this.

Kind regards

If I click on the link provided by quanta I come to a page that has packages for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSuse and the static/dynamic versions for other distros. If I click on the link for openSuse it will download the file skype-2.1.0.81-suse.i586.rpm.
Definitely not an .exe.
No need to upload a file that is freely available on their site.
