My SuSE Watcher icon generally shows orange, and I frequently get dialog box that it is unable to connect. This is on SuSE 9.3 both at home and at work. At work, I am behind a firewall, and although my proxy settings are correct, there could be something blocking it. I checked SuSE Firewall settings, but I did not see any settings that might affect SuSE watcher. On both my home system (direct connect via Linksys router) and at work, I am able to do YOU.
I find its the choice of You update server that is the problem. SuSEwatcher may have problems connecting to the last used sight where YOU won't. If you change to a different YOU download server and at least get the current list of patches then exit and try SuSEwatcher again it usually connects. This just happened to me with the Texas A&M University sight and switching to University of Chicago fixed SuSEwatcher... for now. Stan
