Hi Matthias,
here are my hints to help you solving your problem:
1. Open a root terminal
2. Enter the command 'tail- f /var/log/syslog'
  This shows you if your isdn connenction works (and other stuff)
3. You must enter a reasonable value for the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf (for more
  check out 'man resolv.conf'). Your ISP should have given you a value for this.
4. Do you use pap-access-control ? This doesn't make it easier :-(. Than you need to
  edit the /etc/ppp/pap-secret file. The designated user in this file must correspondent
  with the value in the file /etc/isdn/ipppd.ippp0
5. A good place for more help is www.suse.de. There is a support database.

Good luck
Matthias
