Greetings,

I know this is something stupid that I'm doing wrong but....I have some
older servers without DVD drives, so I set up a SLES10SP3 32-bit
installation folder on our ftp server, under the root in the
pub/sles10sp3 folder.  I coped all the files from the DVD there.  So the
install goes fine, I boot from the 32-bit CD, choose FTP during install
and configure the server and folder, anonymous access.  It finds all the
files and installs.  Then, once the install is done, anytime I access
anything with software I'm told it can't access the installation media,
when I go into the installation sources it says broken.  When I look at
the details I get:

Download (curl) error for
ftp://serverip/%2Fpub/sles10sp3/media.1/directory.yast
Error code: HTTP response 502
Error message: The requested URL returned error 502

Deleting it and trying to put it back doesn't work either.  Very
perplexed, since the installation went fine.  Help!?  Thanks.

Hi
Sure your selecting ftp as the server type, seems strange to get a http
error? Is there a proxy involved?

Yes, I just realized this a few seconds after I wrote this, my proxy
configuration is causing this problem.  I did not enter my local
networks into the No Proxy.  So I was able to get around it by entering
the IP address of the ftp server in the No Proxy.  It looks like it
won't let you enter in a range of addresses though.

Pretty much, but if you know of a way to add a subnet to the NO PROXY
list that would be sweet :)
