i have problem with installing every software,ex i wanted to install flash player,i downloaded the rpm and try to install.when it wants to strat this problem occure and nothing happend. even when i want to open intall software it happens.
i have nothing to do with it,it drives me crazy!!
In your first post you mention that you already downloaded the rpm and are trying to install it, so it is on your machine already. What does this have to do with proxy settings (which are for outside communication)?
Could you rephrase the question and try to be more clear about what you cannot do?
these are the output of the ping command:

i click also the details i attach pic.
I'm not sure if this will also fix your problem (I do think so). Have a look at comment 22 it holds an url thet points to the mentioned program. Also have a look at comment 30.
The Opensuse servers were down for a while recently. First open Yast and open the Software Repositories. Select (highlight) one of the enabled repositories. Then click to Refresh Selected. This will let you know if you can connect to the servers.
Also, the repositories listed to Autorefresh, will attempt to connect to each of the servers whenever you open the install software application. As long as you have refreshed them recently, you might want to disable Autorefresh.
When you download an RPM, there will usually be dependencies not included with the RPM. Yast will attempt to find those dependencies whenever you launch the Install Software application, and if the repository server for that dependency is down, you will get an error as described in your post.

@Wifi-Fanatux: The servers were reachable (see post #6 and #7). Post #10 shows this to be a bug in one of the default packages that came with 11.2 (I did not check if this is true for other versions as well). A bugfree version is available.
Do you have the IP of your machine listed in the No Proxy Domains?
what do you mean by No Proxy Domains???
by the way i have already install this version on my laptop which can connect directly to internet,every thing was fine ,i didnot have any problem with connecting to repositories..
