Hi guys, Got a major problem here. I cannot update my potato installation: all connections in apt or ftp, apt directly or through dselect, are timed out as soon as they try to download anything. Manual downloding with ftp from the very same sites okay. Unfortunately the diagnostics are really just as sparse as that; all other error messages that I can get if I choose ftp as access mode are secondary to the first timeout in an ftp - presumably the Packages file again...
ANY help appreciated! (Last update failed on Nov 6 (Japan), if that helps) Thanks in advance, cheers, Kai ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kai Martens State University of New York at Stony Brook Department of Physics and Astronomy Kamioka Observatory 456 Higashi-Mozumi e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kamioka-cho FAX: +81-578-5-2121 Yoshiki-gun Tel: +81-578-5-9617 506-1205 Gifu-ken Japan homepage: http://www-sk.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~kai -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
