I am a little curious about a few more details. And it would be good if we can extend the discussion in this forum itself.
now if you've a monthly unlimited connection of either 128kbps or 256 kbps then what u've with the connection is a router & not a modem. now TATA mostly provides connection in this way: * they'll lay cables directly to your place & then they'll attach a router to it & then through lan cable u can just plug it to your computer & use it. now if you have the same configuration then what you need to do is goto yast >> network card >> configure the ip, dns, gateway as per your static configuration which you can find out by typing 192.168.1.1 on your browser.
Which is the static configuration? Does Tata Indicom give you static IPs. As far as I know no ISP in India does that. If I have a Linux box sitting at the gateway of a LAN, for this scenario, it needs to Network interfaces. The LAN facing interface should have a static IP. But there is no guarantee that the ISP would allow a static IP for the Internet facing interface. In this case, the uplink IP (the IP associated with the internet facing NIC) is variable. I am sure typing 192.168.1.1 will give you your IP address and other details, but only for a particular session and period.
