So you do have a connection then. Do you have name resolution working? Try "dig www.opensuse.org" from the command line. Then try "ping www.opensuse.org".
If both of those work, you're on-line.
Unfortunately, many pay services do weird things to get you to the login/pay page, per the OP. The fact that you have a physical connection does not always enable routing of traffic from your MAC. I would suggest ensuring that Javascript & cookies are enabled - many of the pay sites/processes require such gyrations on the client side. You might also watch closly on a Windoze machine that works - there's a small chance of some IE specific code doing the redirect to the login page. If you can catch what is happening on the first connect, it might give you a clue as to what you're missing on the Linux side. If you can, try launching directly TO the login page to authenticate/pay. Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
