Hello, I have a very strange problem regarding a local mirror of debian and subnets.
We have two subnets: x.x.1.x Laptops x.x.3.x Servers We have set up a local mirror of debian on a machine on the server subnet. This can be ftp'd to and telnet'ed by a user and anonymous ftp. However, when we try and use dselect or apt-get to install new packages (or check for updated files) then the process stalls (i.e. like when trying to recieve lists). Here is an excerpt from dselect update packages.. Get:1 ftp://proxy frozen/main Packages [837kB] Err ftp://proxy frozen/main Packages Read error - read (104 Connection reset by peer) Get:2 ftp://proxy frozen/main Release [93B] 0% [2 frozen/main 0/93B 0%] Now, okay it could be a problem with the subnet or routing, but then how come we can ftp and telnet and ping to the server??? It could have been a problem with the mirror of debian, but then we put the machine on to the same subnet as the laptops and everything worked with dselect and apt-get. Does anyone have any idea why dselect or apt wont work accross a subnet when everyting else (especially ftp) does??? I am really stumped here!!! Johnny.
