I'm not so sure that Alan doesn't have a point. Even with a firewall policy of "OPEN" (effectively letting in everything) and adding the suggest reset line for port 113, my attempts to download continue to TimeOut for this site. I'm pretty much convinced that upstream (probably the University of Idaho) is dropping/blocking all 113 traffic to/from me, and there's precious little I can do about that. Moreover, I have nearly 480 ports installed, and this is the ONLY one that gives me any problems on download . . . jmc On Mon, 2002-09-16 at 15:12, Edwin Groothuis wrote: > On Mon, Sep 16, 2002 at 10:35:38AM -0400, AlanE wrote: > > On Mon, Sep 16, 2002 at 10:18:59AM -0400, Chet Ramey wrote: > > >> Just add a more appropriate MASTER_SITE..we can't do much about broken > > >> FTP sites. > > > > > >Excuse me?
