First of all you should find out why you can't connect to "sophos.com". 1) sophos is down -> try later Solution: get the file from another server 2) dns lookup failed -> try if you can connect to other hosts like "google.com" or anything else, or if you can only connect to ip adresses. Solution1: try another DNS server Solution2: reconfigure your DNS settings or even your DNS-server (if you are running one) 3) network is down -> try if you can connect at all (to the internet) Solution: reconfigure your NICs 4) user root not allowed to connect to the internet (standard on BSD if i remember correctly) -> try if you can DL the file using another user Solution: change the user database or the firewall settings, or just don't connect to the internet using root :-) Last but not least: Try the "-d" switch with wget and have a look at the debug output of wget. Perhaps you find further information why you can't connect. If you don't, send it to this list, perhaps "we" find smth :-) bye Martin Sch�neberger _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
