Title:
Unexplained 'connection refused' errors for University VPN and certain
login/credential websites (affects Ubuntu ONLY on dual-boot set-up)
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Binary package hint: chromium
Binary package hint: ubuntu
As of approximately 2 days ago I have been unable to connect to my
college VPN and a select number of login/credential websites (see
below). I have attempted to access these websites via both Firefox
(4.0.1) and Chromium (11.0.696.57) with both yielding 'connection
refused' errors. Curiously neither of these browsers nor Network
Manager (when connecting to a VPN) expended any considerable time
negotiating a connection before throwing out errors.
I am nearly 100% certain that this is NOT a network or firewall issue
as I have witnessed these errors under Linux both at home (behind my
router/gateway) and at college (behind whatever firewall they have).
Additionally, I have NOT witnessed these same errors under my Windows
7 partition, both at home and at college. Under Windows 7 I am able to
connect to my college VPN and the websites in question.
So, this bug (if it is a bug and not a local config. issue) appears to
be isolated to my Ubuntu/Linux set-up and doesn't appear to be caused
by a hardware firewall or network issue. I'm stumped as to what, if
any, configuration changes I could have made during the past few days
that could cause something like this. AFAIK I haven't made ANY
substantive configuration changes AT ALL in over a week.
Here follows a list of known login/credential pages which are effected

There are no doubt more, and I'll update as and when they become
apparent to me.
