Under the heading of the only dumb question is one that isn't asked..... You are right. I just tried YOU again, and it works! It didn't two months ago, but a lot has changed since then. Without your prompting, I would have, and may still, setup a mirror maintenance site. But with the knowledge gained from using a command line utility such as wget, and then trying YOU again, YOU works. That is when you change out the SUSE maintenance site for the Novell maintenance site, and the new userid and password (we eliminated our SUSE contract and picked up Suse support on our general Novell contract),
But then again, I could swear that I couldn't ping anything outside the mainframe from a freshly installed Linux image. Interesting....two weeks ago, I was given a new PC. That day, I couldn't get out on the web. But the next day, web access wasn't a problem. This leads me to believe that we have a situation where a new node is installed, but it takes some time (perhaps overnight) for the network to allow access to the outside. Is there such a thing in the network world? Time to install another Linux image and see how long it takes to initially get to the outside world. I just gotta verify that I'm not loosing my mind!

You say wget works fine on zLinux SLES9, but not from YOU. From my experience with YOU it's a matter of navigating and filling in YAST's YOU screen fields appropriately; I may have some SLES9 YOU notes that detail that, I'll check tomorrow when I'm in the office. An alternative to using YAST and YOU is using the online_update command line that YOU calls: one of its modes runs wget to connect to patch site and download the patches; since you're successful with wget you'd probably be successful with online_update; I have notes on that too if you want them.
