Hello, Well I got the basic hamm from disks working fine last night. But when i started to download the rest of the packages from ftp.debian.org, I got a "Connection Refused" message or something similar.
I really believe this is being caused by a reverse lookup or lookup from ftp.debian.org. I can log onto other ftp sites, ie sunsite, without any problems. But would rather download the packages via Debian. A little background, may help with my question. I am running on a PPP connection and connect up to my local ISP. I have been assigned a static IP. The address goes something like "aux-xxx-xx-xxx.myisp.net". I have since changed that address via the magic of Monolith to "something.ml.org", which has propagated for over a month now. I have placed in the "hostnames" the ml.org address. The other day, I had lost my static IP from my ISP and was being assigned a Dynamic IP address. And I could log onto ftp.debian.org with no problem at all. My question is, has anyone else seen this happen before? And if so, how do I fix it so I can log onto ftp.debian.org? If not, what am I doing that is different from a Static IP to a Dynamic IP to have debian.org let me on? And what do I need to do with my network files to get this to work? When I was running bo, I had the same problem, but I just got the files off sunsite so was not a big deal, but now with hamm, sunsite doesn't have the "Package" files up to date and I was wanting to get my system back up.
