Hi Yvonne, SuSE does not use apt-get for updates. If you want to check for updates, you will need to use the Yast Online Updater (type 'you' on the command line). Alternatively, YOU can be accessed from Yast in the KDE menu. What version of SuSE are you using? What is the output of 'route'? Do you have a proxy setup in firefox? Can you try browsing with konqueror? Stuart On Tuesday 24 February 2009 22:02:09 Yvonne Everett wrote:
Hi
I've just had delivered an HP 2133 with SuSE installed. I have broadband connection at home which is setup with an ADSL router so I normally just have to plug in and the connection to the internet is direct. From the console session I can see the router, I can see that I have an IP address and I can even ping google.co.uk, bbc.co.uk etc. However, I cannot use Firefox, eventually I get the timeout message. Also I cannot get online updates (I've tried apt-get update from the command line) and I cant even seem to find the icon where I register for updates. Can anyone help me please as I'm new to SuSE (I have used Ubuntu previously).
Thanks
