problems with YOU behind a Win Gateway
Hi all, i have a little problem with YOU: when I try to verify the presence of new updates using Suse Watcher or I directly try to find them, I receive an error error Connect failed This is the situation: I have 2 pc, a desktop using WinXp and a notebook using Suse 9.1 (kernel 2.6). The desktop pc is configured to be a gateway for other computers, trough ethernet connection, due of his ADSL connection; notebook uses this gateway to surf the internet. I can't use my ADSL modem on linux because it's not compatible (usb model send me by Telecom Italia, only a few people, about 10-15, in Italy made it working on Linux, especially on Debian with 2.4.x kernel), so I have to surf trough the gateway ore directly with a 56k dial up connection from the winmodem of the notebook. Some days ago I want to get the notebook updated, I wasn't home so I used the 56k connection, so I got the update list: about 150Mb! Can't do this with 56k... Back at home, I started the desktop pc, connected the notebook and started YOU. Immediately I got that error. Now the question is: is there something special that has to be configured (except proxy settings that are ok, because i can surf using Firefox without problems) to make YOU work behind a Gateway? It gave me the same problem using a Linux gateway: can surf, but can't use YOU. Thanks for every answer

I am a little confused. you have proxy set for Firefox? If you are using a proxy, that might be your problem. My info may be outdated but I think YOU doesn't work through a proxy. Many have suggested using fou4s. That works for me when using a proxy. If you are not using a proxy, then I don't know what to suggest for fixing your problem Damon Register

YOU works fine through a proxy if all is configured right. At least at a couple of my sites it does... even transparent proxying. SUSE 9.0 Pro and 9.1 Pro clients plus several flavors of Windows. Check all your settings for DNS, DHCP if used, proxy allows http and ftp, firewall allows http and ftp, etc. Stan
