Hello, I have been having the strangest network issue as of late. I did not have any problems with openSUSE 11.0, but am having it with 11.1. Any troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. I seem to be getting intermittent problems resolving hosts. I will have trouble trying to update with zypper or browse the web with Firefox. It doesn't fail everytime, so I do not know where to begin to debug. My wireless connection works correctly when using the PS3 under the Game OS. Here is an example of what I am seeing: ps3-linux:~ # host powerpc.opensuse.org powerpc.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.142 ps3-linux:~ # zypper update Download (curl) error for 'http://powerpc.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/content': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Couldn't resolve host 'powerpc.opensuse.org' Abort, retry, ignore? [A/r/i]: ^Cps3-linux:~ # ps3-linux:~ # host powerpc.opensuse.org powerpc.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.142 I am using wlan0 configured via DHCP connecting to a common LinkSys WRT54G wireless router without encryption. Like I mentioned earlier, I used the same setup under 11.0 without a problem. Other computers on my wireless network do not have any trouble. One thing that seemed out of place to me was that the network activity light on the PS3 seems to stay lit when I am not using the network, and blinks when I am. Shouldn't it be off when I'm not using any network functions? Is anybody else seeing that particular issue?
