arctic Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 That's weird... I will do some research on that one. Maybe I can find an answer to this rather unusual behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofri Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 i just made another test: i have access to at least 1 FTP site, from within firefox. i tried the same site using scp from konsole and no go... is this because i disabled ipv6 in FF? or maybe it says my problem in not what we think it is? i am posting my /etc/modprobe.conf file, maybe you can spot something in here alias eth0 ipw3945 alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel remove snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-hda-intel && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } alias eth1 e100 install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe ata_piix; /sbin/modprobe ahci; /sbin/modprobe ide-generic; /bin/true alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off note that eth0 is my wireless, which i am NOT using right now. i am working with eth1.

arctic Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Well, I haven't found anything on google that is similar to your problem. I suggest that you 1. check if you can access more ftp-servers from within firefox 2. check if you can ping the same ftp-servers from the command line 3. check this with a disabled firewall and once with enabled firewall and please post the contents of your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfgeth0 and ifcfgeth1 files. Your modprobe.conf looks pretty good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yossarian Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Your modprobe.conf looks pretty good to me. I love it when you talk dirty. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hmm... I wonder if you perhaps changed some settings in your router (accidently?). The only thing I can imagine that is not configured well is the MTU and MRU settings. If those are not configured correctly, some sites won't be accessible. As long as you have default (=factory) settings, it should however work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofri Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 i don't think this is it, because my winXP machine that is on the same lan has no network problems. but i will check those values when i'm back home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoonma Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Despite of the more or less constant effect of some mirrors somtimes stalling with ftp... - what about using rsync mirrors? I prefer rsync now anyway. One positive effect is that already downloaded data must not be reloaded again if it is correct and up to date.

scoonma Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Not every host answers ping nowadays. This is what I get with cnn: PING www.cnn.com (64.236.91.22) 56(84) bytes of data. --- www.cnn.com ping statistics --- 16 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 14999ms The website however is working. For testing with ping I stick to sites known to answer (www.yahoo.com, www.google.com, ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofri Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 well, guys, really thanks for the help, but i solved the problem. or actually more kinda found a way around it: i installed Ubunto 7.04... (this solved my network problems, but not my sound problems, but this is a matter for another post :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
