Is it possible that trying to resolve hostnames between IPv4 and IPv6 is also the problem with my Yast? It always times out when trying to refresh the list of configured repositories and when downloading packages that I have selected to install. I continue to have to hit the 'retry' button. My internet speed is so much faster now that I disabled IPv6. Is there a way to do that also in Yast?
This I do not know. Doubt I can be much help with this one. Doing the command ifconfig -a and examining the output will show if IPv6 has truly been disabled. If your Firefox is now working correctly for the Internet in general you might try plugging in the URLs for the repositories you have configured in Yast into Firefox and watch what happens. If you get the same stalling in Firefox it isn't a Yast issue.

I get this line from ifconfig just below the ipv4 line, which I assume means that I am still checking ipv6: inet6 addr: fe80::4a5b:39ff:fef3:7692/64 Scope:Link James, I am keeping what you wrote in mind, but it is a little beyond my understanding at this point in my learning. So I will store that email for the future when I have a better grasp on the whole thing.
