Hello all-- What you need to do is go to the shell screen and type "ping suse.com" and if you don't get an answer, you then ping something you are pretty sure is there, like your own internet provider, and if you then get an answer, you know that suse.com is down, for some reason, or overloaded. Ping is the way to tell if the net is up or down for some particular entity. You can even ping microsoft. I just tried to ping a whole batch of well-known enterprises, and got no answer, altho the server put up the dot-quad addresses. A few replied, but most didn't. There may be something wrong on the net tonite. To end the test, just hit control-C. --doug On Saturday 31 July 2004 22:16, Scott Leighton wrote:

I have just tried to run Yast2 on two different PCs and on both I am getting a failure.
It says to check my connection but it is fine.
E-mail and Web access are fine on both so the problem appears isolated to Suse.
Anyone else seeing this?
Yeah, suse.de has been down most of the day from here.
