The message I get is: "Connection to YOU server failed. Try to connect to another SuSE server" Obviously I have tried to connect to another. This problem exists at work and at home and the commonality appears to be that they both function via a proxy (the one at work via proxy script, the one at home via proxy IP & port). Also (on both machines) I get Internet access configured using the same proxies (configured in konqueror AND YaST2, System, Sysconfig Editor ...I think!) HELP!!!! James James James C.
