evan Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Hi, I've had this problem for every distribution installed on my laptop! Basically, I can browse web pages, download things, so to a great extent, my network works properly through DHCP in this campus LAN. However, I cannot download any upgrade package using any provided installer, upgrade program, or whatever, all of them just keep connecting forever. One more thing is, I have to set up a proxy to get access to outside internet from this freaky campus network, and I set it up in system configuration. but why those upgrade programs just couldn't connect to the server? Can anyone help me on this (it drives me crazy!!!) thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemical Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 its probably because the proxy is only setup to allow http access, not the other protocols, talk with the sysadmin over there see if he can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 wow...didn't see this question before, sorry... Ya, kemical nailed it on the nose, it's either the proxy settings or an imposed firewall preventing you from doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
