[SLE] 10.0 post-installation problems
I've just installed SuSE 10.0 on my dual-boot AMD Athlon box, but some bits don't appear to be working quite right. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated: * Online update won't work. The error message is: "Cannot fetch remote server list ... Possible solution: Check network connection. * The URL it's looking for is http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/suseservers.cgi * I tried pinging www.suse.de and it returned the ping just fine. * Firefox won't work. Konqueror works with no problems, but Firefox just sits there saying (e.g.) "Waiting for www.google.com" * Thunderbird won't work either, but I've some more config checks to do on that. My internet connection is DSL via a router. Any suggestions on these would be gratefully received.

Did you dmesg and check that your netword card is there and that DHCP is running?

Thanks for feedback Peter. It's old problem with Firefox defaults that look in the future of Internet. Some enterprises are already using IPv6 enabled DNS servers for their intranets so Firefox will be at home for them. The rest of us have to repeat routine for every new installation. -- Regards, Rajko.
