I am trying to add the repository and coming back with ‘Cannot access installation media http:\…’ & ’ Check whether the server is accessible’ error. What is wrong??? How to fix it???
I am running opensuse 11.2, gnome desktop.
On another note (not sure if it is somehow related )in order for me to open ‘Software Manager’ I had to uncheck ‘Enabled’ for all urls in ‘Configured Software Repositories’.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

First thing to check is that you can connect to the server - can you?
As it happens, I just ran into this updating my 11.1 64-bit system to
11.2. The problem turned out to be that I had installed a fairly old
version of aria2c on 11.1 to use as a download manager, and 11.2 includes
it - AND uses it as an integral part of the package manager.
My copy was installed to /usr/local/bin, 11.2’s was installed to /usr/
bin. Mine was first in the path and that created a problem.
So if you upgraded and had installed aria2c, that might be something to
check.
But I’d start with the more obvious “can I connect to the server” - try
using firefox and see if you can even connect to it.

The reason why all the links are disable is to let me get into the ‘software management’.
Hendersi,
I did not upgrade the opensuse. It is a fresh install. Yes, I can connect to all the links from firefox. Not sure if it has something to do with it. But, my computer is the part of a company network (running .NET) with lot of security and firewall. And if I want to connect to web pages from firefox it asks me for username and password.
Kevin,
I am sorry yes the links are with forward slash http://…I have written them wrong in my first post.
Any other ideas???

It sounds like you’re using a proxy server - you probably need to
configure your system to use a proxy.
In YaST, there is a proxy configuration option - maybe set that and give
it another try (I don’t know for certain that those proxy settings will
be applied to the online updater, but I am pretty sure they are).
