Is there a problem with the
download.fedora.redhat.com system or is
it my problem? I have been using this FTP and HTTP server for Fedora
updates for quite awhile with no problems, but several days ago it
stopped accepting connections from the system that handles package
updates for all of my servers and clients. No errors are returned,
there is just no response.
Hi,
could you please be more specific ? It matters :-)
I assume your internal update server is F13.
Where is it specified that you use that
download.fedora.redhat.com IP/address
as a repo server for updates ? Give us an output of that file.
Is that an official Fedora mirror site ?
It does resolve correctly in the DNS:
209.132.183.67.
How did you verify that (dig, nslookup, host) ?
From where did you verify it (your internal update server or client;
or
perhaps outside-of-your-domain machine) ?
I can connect to this server from other systems
outside of my domain, but none of my own clients or servers can get a
connection to open on the
download.fedora.redhat.com server.
On your domain:
- do you use a local dns caching server (nscd, dnsmasq, bind) ? Where ?
- on your internal update server, give us an output of:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
$ cat /etc/host.conf
- have you looked at your firewall rules (thru GUI and actual content in
iptables files: less /etc/sysconfig/ip*tables ) ?
I can
connect to other FTP and web sites without any problems. A traceroute
gets as far as
redhat-2.border1.phx004.pnap.net (69.25.121.26) and stops
there after fourteen hops.
I would appreciate some help or suggestions in resolving this problem.
Thanks,
Bill
