I have suse 9.2 pro and I have problems connecting to yast update. I either get message: "Connection failed" or "Can't cd to i386". It can't even download list of servers. Konqueror works, but firefox doesn't. I have firewall disabled and on my router, my computer is set as DMZ, meaning I have direct exposure to internet and there isn't any port forwarding needed. I don't really know what to do here, since windows is working without any problems...
Have a look at the Yast Sticky at the top of this thread. Lots of advice (as well as some of the errors that people have/make) on using Yast repositories.

I have exactly the same problems. I am also running 9.2 Pro. I started a couple of threads about my problems trying to get Firefox or Mozilla to work with my DSL connection and got a lot of good info but never did get the damn thing to work. I have resigned myself to Konqueror as my web browser for SuSE 9.2. Too bad, because I have been using Mozilla for years and really like it, and I just recently discovered Firefox and am of the opinion that it is about the neatest thing since sliced bread. Too bad I can't get it to work with Suzy.

Okay, you can get to the internet and you can use Konqueror to browse web pages but FF or Moz won't get out? What happens?
I'm assuming since you're using Konqueror and nog Gaelon you're on KDE, right?
What kind of message do you get?
What kind of "DSL Connection" do you have setup? I - for example - have my DSL modem wired into a NAT router which is wired into my ethernet card. SuSE only knows about the ethernet card and has TCP/IP setup.
well, I have a DSL-g604t dlink. It is a dsl router and wireless access point with integrated modem.
I'm wriitin from my friend's wireless network and all work well (firefox and online update).
Now I'm sure there is a problem with dlink at home and I really dont know what!
what do you think about it?
Ah, at this point I would start searching the forum for your router and issues connecting.
Can you connect at all? I'm not sure by your reply. Also does your ISP give you a static or dynamic IP. If it is static can you ping from your friend's machine?
