Welcome to Linux, OpenSUSE, and this forum!

You may be able to find a similar problem already solved and/or get a quicker response to your question on the OpenSUSE forum at:

(I'm not allowed to post links. Google "OpenSUSE forum" and it should be obvious.)

Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent forum, but the concentration of OpenSUSE experts is greater at the OpenSUSE forum.

Whether you do it here or at the OpenSUSE forum, explain what the problem is that you'd like help with. Entering the IP address may not be the solution to your problem. Pretend you're the patient going to the doctor with a computer problem, and tell him or her what your computer's symptoms are rather than telling the doctor what medicine he needs to prescribe to fix the computer's sickness. Make sense? If not, let us know.

Wherever you end up, read posts, ask questions, and don't be shy or worry about your English. Be patient, and you'll find the help you need.

You can define a manual IP address in Yast -> Network Devices -> Network Settings. Should default to Overview tab, select your virtual card in question, and click on Edit... Again, you should default to the Adress Tab, where you can define the address.

That being said, I tend to agree with Greg on the basis that typically in a VM, the host server will set up its own internal NAT with DHCP, so no manual configuration needs to be done to the guest(s). It would be nice to know what difficulties you are experiencing. If you are simply exploring to learn the OS, I hope I have pointed you in the right direction.

Good luck and have fun. Please let us know how you do, we will try to help however we can.

Quick way, e.g /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0
-----------------------------------------------
BOOTPROTO='static'
BROADCAST=''
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
IPADDR='192.168.10.12/24'
MTU=''
NAME='DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet Aapter'
NETWORK=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='auto'
USERCONTROL='no'
------------------------------------------
You can change NAME to whatever card you have, if you want to or leave it blank.
If you need network bridging
------------------------------------------------------
# less /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br0
BOOTPROTO='static'
BRIDGE='yes'
BRIDGE_FORWARDDELAY='0'
BRIDGE_PORTS='eth0'
BRIDGE_STP='off'
BROADCAST=''
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
IPADDR='192.168.10.2/24'
MTU=''
NETMASK=''
NETWORK=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='auto'
USERCONTROL='no'
NAME=''

If you need a GUI, you can use YaST to set up your network card with gateway etc. if needed, or you can specify the router IP address by a nameserver line in /etc/resolv.conf.
search site
nameserver 192.168.10.103
nameserver 192.168.1.1

YaST is very useful for configuring just about everything, get to know it as it's a very simple and effective way of managing system configuration.
If you don't care what your IP address is, YaST can configure it to use dhcp if your router issues IP addresses via dhcp.
