You set up in YAST > Network Services > Network Card. There are number of steps involved. In your case look for the advanced settings. The setup is not very "user friendly" but it's all there.

If you are not familiar with networking terms this may be quite a task for you in which case I suggest you get on Google and do the research.
This link may be helpful. Note that this link is using the text mode of YAST, but the same presentation is in the graphical YAST.

Well i guess it was wrong of me to announce that the "heavy" problem was the schools dns and stuff. The real problem is that when i connect to my schools network (using the NM, choosing WEP Hex and write in network name and key) after a while another window appear, it tells me thet the network needs a "security passphrase (blah, blah), and then there are two main things to choose from: "WPA - Something" and "LEAP". The Problem is that my school doesnt use any of this, my admin says that the only thing the network requires is the WEP key, the one I wrote in the first dialog.
I hope I´m being more precisely this time.
