Package: netselect
Version: 0.3.ds1-3
Followup-For: Bug #217256
Hello !
I also got the same problem as previoulsy reported, namely: I can ping hosts,
but netselect reports
that the hosts are down:
gaia ~ $ ping -vv ftp.fr.debian.org
PING ftp.fr.debian.org (212.27.32.66) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from debian.proxad.net (212.27.32.66): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=9.58 ms
64 bytes from debian.proxad.net (212.27.32.66): icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=5.09 ms
--- ftp.fr.debian.org ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 5.092/7.339/9.586/2.247 ms
gaia ~ $ netselect -vv ftp.fr.debian.org
Running netselect to choose 1 out of 1 address.
ftp.fr.debian.org 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok
I think this is mainly due to the fact that I'm hosted behind an aggressive
(and stupid) firewall.
I don't know exactly what goes through, but I can tell you this:
UDP doesn't come, whichever the situation;
only outbound TCP connections are allowed;
Obviouly, ping probes do work, so I don't really know what to say.
Could the problems come from this ?? Would there be any workaround ?
