There's a known problem with the SuSE Online Update. Go to YAST and then
to Installation Sources and Add a new source.
The one I use is:
Server Name www.mirrorservice.org
Folder on Server sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.1
Protocol http

Works perfectly, though I did have to log out and back in again and run
Online Update from YAST (several times).

Hope that helps.
