Saturday night is a good time for maintenance. I tried to
run Yast Online Update and received an error that stated
only user define Update sources would be available.
I want to ask the list if any of you have known update
mirror sites. The update sites are retrieved form a
suse.de site, maybe just that site is not working while the
update mirrors may be working.
If the list can generate some addresses you would be able
to do updates by manually entering the correct address into
YaST's Online Update dialogs.

Hi,
I don't think so. ICMP is blocked by many corporate firewalls. Telnet is definetely more reliable for this type of check (checking websites).
telnet hostname 80
and if you get an answer you know it's working.
