Hi there!
I have a very strange problem!
I have a **A7V8X-X motherboard with VT6102 [Rhine-II] **on board network device.
Internet connections work fine for long time on openSuse 10.3, 11.1 11.2 and 11.3.
But since a few weeks ago, internet connections began to fail: several times when I want to open any Internet site with Firefox, it answers:
"Problem loading page"
"Unable to connect"
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at forums.opensuse.org."
but, by clicking “Reload current page” button, some times the page is loaded normally.
Also, the “Updater Applet” has the same problem to connect to Internet, with the message:
PackageKit Error repo-not-available: Failed to download /repodata/repomd.xml from http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3/
but if I insist a couple of times, the connection is successful.
I reject the possibility of a hardware problem because with Windows XP the Internet connections work fine.
The problem is still stranger because I loaded a Ubuntu Live CD, and I have the same problem.
I leave some data of my network settings (, but same settings work fine a month ago):
