What port does YaST use to access the net?
For me, YOU does not work. I get "Getting a list of mirror servers" for some while and then that hangs with a window saying: Warning Cannot fetch remote server list. Only user-defined patch sources will be available. Possible solution: Check network connection. URL: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/suseservers.cgi<br>couldn't connect to host However, my father is able to do YOU. He is on a different network. So I suspect it is indeed a problem with my network. But I am able to access the network over HTTP, FTP, SMTP, IMAP and POP. So I suspect YaST uses a port not used by all the above. Similarly adding HTTP and FTP repositories hangs, but this time there is no warning or error message. I have to kill the Add Sources window using Ctrl + Alt + Escape.

It uses normal http, but it has its own proxy configuration. Are you using a proxy server that you haven't set up in YaST?

I do not use proxies. Are you speaking of the Network Services > Proxy configuration? It's empty for me, since I do not use a proxy. Also, normal HTTP is always port 80, right? Or can it use other ports sometimes? I am wondering if my ISP has blocked any of my ports. Previously I also used to have a problem with KGpg with exporting my keys to a public server, but now that seems to have gone off without a problem. But YaST still does not work. -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.51 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-02-18 W07-6 UTC+0530
