    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
