it's probably asking for an ip address b/c you don't have dhcp server in your network. what is your network setup like? do you have access to the internet?
SuSE unless you pay for their CDs makes you do the FTP install, which requires internet access. you can use ftp.suse.com... it's just that you have to have your network set up right including DNS.
hope this helps.
