Hi all. I recently upgraded my debian-woody to kernel 2.4.9. The kernel compilation went fine and upon reboot all was well, with one glitch.
To update my dynamic DNS, I use lynx to grab the external IP from a Linksys BEFSR41 router. This function broke once I upgraded to 2.4.9 (and was working fine under 2.2.19). I also tried 2.4.8 with the same results. The specific problem : my lynx (2.8.4rel.1) command is like this : Lynx -dump -auth=admin:pswd http://10.10.10.1/Status.htm This should print the web page to the screen, then I grep for the IP. But under 2.4.9, (actually, 2.4.8 right now) I get this : --- lynx -dump -auth=admin:pswd http://10.10.10.1/Status.htm Looking up 10.10.10.1 10.10.10.1 Making HTTP connection to 10.10.10.1 Sending HTTP request. HTTP request sent; waiting for response. Alert!: Access without authorization denied -- retrying Retrying with access authorization information. Looking up 10.10.10.1 10.10.10.1 Making HTTP connection to 10.10.10.1 Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. lynx: Can't access startfile http://10.10.10.1/Status.htm -- Now the funny thing is that only the "-dump" is what's causing the problem. When I eliminate that and open the web page interactively (still passing the auth at the command line) it's fine! Note that I don't seem to be having any other troubles with networking or otherwise. Any ideas? It's driving me nuts! Thanks! Doug Baker
