That this is true, because I do not know how to use the graphical interface to connect to the Internet. however, when i use of more graphics interface on openSUSE, this problem will no longer haunt me, so i want to summarize how to connect to internet using pppoe as below. I wish this information will help you to fix connecting problem of PPPoE.
