http is only possible when i use a proxy. Currently i've set http_proxy to a neighbour machine, namely http://192.168.60.111:8888/. (by using tinyproxy in debian) Also, one more thing i'd like to mention, when i install debian on this machine, i try to install sid via internet. The weird thing is that it's unable to download packages from internet. I've even waited one day to see whether it would work. But suprisingly, it just stops at the step trying to download packages, no progress, no error too. Looks like it has fallen into some strange loop. While, again, after i set a http proxy first, it starts installing quickly and successfully. > you said you can ping google.com? > -> name resolution works Yes.

The one with the same hardware also has this problem first, then he has switched to ubuntu 6.06(kernel seems 2.6.15). > What gives you > sysctl -a | grep window_scaling > and compare that with the working ones. ,----[ sudo sysctl -a | grep window_scaling ] | error: "Success" reading key "dev.parport.parport0.autoprobe3" | error: "Success" reading key "dev.parport.parport0.autoprobe2" | error: "Success" reading key "dev.parport.parport0.autoprobe1" | error: "Success" reading key "dev.parport.parport0.autoprobe0" | error: "Success" reading key "dev.parport.parport0.autoprobe" | error: "Operation not permitted" reading key "net.ipv4.route.flush" | error: "Invalid argument" reading key "fs.binfmt_misc.register" | net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1 `---- Oh, his machine is unreachable for me currently.. > ...and just in case, your kernel isn´t home brewed? No. All in all, I doubt there are some network related flaws between linux kernel and the dell machine. I think i might try another kernel with different version later. -- William Are we THERE yet?
