I wonder whether anybody could help me with some installation problems. Previously I always used YaST1 to install packages, now with SuSE 8.0 I am forced to use YaST2. Its Online Update feature works great but there are a few things I haven't figured out yet: 1) when installing additional software and with the SuSE DVD inside, YaST2 still prompts me for a CD whereas before with YaST1 it installed from DVD. Is this a setting or a configuration issue ? 2) can I use YaST2 to install downloaded RPM's as YaST1 allowed you to do. I know I can do this with 'rpm -i' as well but YaST1 used to take care of the dependencies when you installed a bunch of RPM's together, so it was easier. 3) can I still get to the most recent KDE builds on the SuSE site ? If so, how and where do I get them ? Thanks, Joris.
I have SuSE 8.0 installed on my router / firewall / web server. I have two other computers on the network. Why is it that I can see my website if I look at the local address for the machine, but not at the internet address for it? People from the outside have no trouble see the site. Thanks for the help.

Phil, Check your firewall script and make sure it's not blocking your machine's ports from the inside. (I doubt it is but it's still worth checking) ;) I'm forced to think the main problem lies with DNS. I believe your client machines aren't able to resolve DNS on your server. If you're running bind, you'll have to setup a record for your internal network to refer to your server's DNS record. If you're running djbdns (my choice) you'll just setup your internal and external records. You can test the DNS by running "host <domain name>" on the CLI: me@myhost~> host yahoo.com yahoo.com has address 66.218.71.113 yahoo.com has address 66.218.71.112 yahoo.com mail is handled (pri=1) by mx1.mail.yahoo.com yahoo.com mail is handled (pri=1) by mx2.mail.yahoo.com yahoo.com mail is handled (pri=5) by mx4.mail.yahoo.com if your machines are able to resolve DNS normally for addresses but not your server, I'd say it's the culprit.

You can't see it using the internet address from where? Can you be a little more specific about your connections and which machines can and can't access your web site? Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Got spam? Get spastic http://spastic.sourceforge.net

Yes, 'yast -i packagename'. The catch is that specifiying the full path will install the package without dependency checking. For example, yast2 -i vim will prompt for the correct cd and handle the dependencies. yast2 -i /tmp/foo.rpm will not. -- -ckm
