hi all, since the network firewall was tightened where i work, i can't get apt-get to work.
i can't figure out why, because i thought apt-get used ftp and http, and both of these are allowed through: -----start snip from the firewall rules----- ! ! general permit list for all workstations ! access-list 190 permit tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq www access-list 190 permit tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 443 access-list 190 permit tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq domain access-list 190 permit udp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq domain access-list 190 permit tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 22 access-list 190 permit tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq telnet access-list 190 permit tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq ftp access-list 190 permit tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq ftp-data access-list 190 permit tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq smtp access-list 190 permit tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq pop3 -----end snip from the firewall rules----- this is what i get when i run apt-get update: justin-desktop:/home/justin# apt-get update Get:1 ftp://debian.ihug.com.au testing/main Packages [3191kB] Hit http://security.debian.org testing/updates/main Packages Get:2 http://security.debian.org testing/updates/main Release [111B] Hit http://security.debian.org testing/updates/contrib Packages Get:3 http://security.debian.org testing/updates/contrib Release [114B] Hit http://security.debian.org testing/updates/non-free Packages Get:4 http://security.debian.org testing/updates/non-free Release [115B] Err ftp://debian.ihug.com.au testing/main Packages Could not connect data socket, connection timed out Get:5 ftp://debian.ihug.com.au testing/main Release [81B] 0% [5 Release 0/81B 0%] any ideas? thanks justin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
