It will do; you're only testing the local machine, not the network ;)

I mean, try pinging a workstation from the SuSE machine. If they have
managed to use the DHCP server to get correct addresses (they wouldn't
have 192.168.* addresses if they hadn't contacted the server) then that
means the network works.

Alternatively, just do a normal ping but just leave it. Don't quit out
immediately - leave it for up to a minute. It may begin working
suddenly, which again points to a name resolution problem.

Name resolution daemon ;)

A DNS server, in other words!
