Hello,
I found a bug in wget and I also found the solution to the bug. Here is a description. I have two Ethernet interfaces. 1) local/private and 2) public Ethernet interface. By default wget fails because it binds locally on my local/private Ethernet interface when connecting to the Internet !!! BUG Note, I use DHCP to get my public IP address and I hard code my local/private IP address. To get around the bug: I needed to manually tell wget to locally bind on the public Ethernet interface. Then it works fine. Here is my solution (with a little debugging added on). wget --inet4-only --debug --verbose --bind-address=77.110.21.210 http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi/ <http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi/%3cmyOinkCode%3e/snortrules-sna pshot-2905.tar.gz> <myOinkCode>/snortrules-snapshot-2905.tar.gz Note: Im using wget from Vyattas latest release -> Debian. Here is the startup message: vyatta@Vyatta1:~$ show system boot-messages [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpu [ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.37-1-586-vyatta-virt (root@vyatta) (gcc versi 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.5-8) ) #1 SMP Thu Jul 7 22:30:24 PDT 2011 Could you please let me know if this is a known bug or a new bug?
