I'm trying to run Yast Online Update, and every time I do, it tells me it can't download the list of servers. I take the url it lists in the error, and put it in a browser and it gets the list fine. I can get anywhere on the internet from a browser, but it's like yast doesn't know how to get out on the internet. It tells me to check my network connection. I have even FTPd to one of the servers from the console prompt just to test. If I enter a server in to the list manually, it tells me it can't cd in to i386. Once again, I go to a browser and get there fine. Can anyone help before I beat this server to death with a hammer? I have a hammer called the Bug Smasher on my desk for those occasions :-)
Do you happen to be behind a firewall. You may need to set up a proxy server in YaST. YaST/System/Sysconfig editor/Network/Proxy. Then set the appropriate values. If you already know one of the servers, you can turn this off in the Sysconfig Editor under System/Online Update. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
