wget behaves the same way
$ wget https://adp.eease.com
--2009-08-27 20:23:30--  https://adp.eease.com/
Resolving adp.eease.com... 209.168.243.5
Connecting to adp.eease.com|209.168.243.5|:443... failed: Connection refused.

The network team at that site is trying to figure out what the problem is.
Will update once they get back.

I'd assume that 'telnet hostname 443' is intended to be a test for an 
https web service - which should in fact not permit a connection without 
ssl encryption.   The linux version of telnet probably tries to do some 
options negotiations before it says it is connected and perhaps the 
windows version doesn't.   A better test would be
wget https://adp.eease.com

Thank you I tested this today morning from the windows machine and it
is behaving the same ( connection refused ). So I guess Its the host.
I have a call with the Host admin some time today. This test should
help me point the issue to him.

Thanks

I could only connect 3 times out of 10. This was from my
Mac laptop running Leopard. It would appear that something abnormal
is happening on this host.

[CentOS] Strange connectivity problem from linux.

2009-08-27 Thread Tharun Kumar Allu
Hi I have been facing a strange connectivity problem from CentOS and
Fedora boxes.

When I telnet to
$ telnet adp.eease.com 443

it works fine some times and every 5-10 tries or so it says connection
refused. And this does not happen from my windows box.

Can anyone from this list try this on their linux installation and see
if they get the same behaviour?

Thanks
Tharun
