127.0.0.1 is always "localhost" i.e. the local machine. It looks like curl is configured to use a (possibly filtered) proxy on the local machine, or the repo addresses are somehow being resolved to localhost rather than their actual IP addresses.

Localhost addresses will never be routed externally to the local machine, so you 'll need to figure out why those addresses appear to be being resolved as localhost.

Do you have entries in your /etc/hosts file?

What about /etc/resolv.conf?

Are you running a filtered proxy server or some other process that was working and now is not?

What are the URLs for the repos under /etc/zypp/repos.d?

Is there anything in /etc/curlrc or /root/.curlrc that is configuring a proxy at localhost:1080 (or 127.0.0.1:1080)? Or perhaps an environment variable doing the same?

Rodney.
