Yesterday I installed frozen on a new machine. I used the network to
fetch all the packages from a local mirror (http, port 8080). Everything
worked fine. Now when I try to use apt, I get the following:
# apt-get update
Err http://web.address.edu potato/main Packages
Could not create a socket - socket (93 Protocol not supported)
<snip>
Failed to fetch http://web.address.edu:8080/debian/dists/potato/main/
binary-i386/Release
Could not create a socket -- socket (93 Protocol not supported)
I did recompile the kernel to support my CD-RW, but I used the same
settings I've always used, and the networking options seem perfectly
appropriate (all set to yes):
CONFIG_NET, CONFIG_PACKET, CONFIG_FIREWALL, CONFIG_INET,
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL, CONFIG_IP_TRANSPORT_PROXY, CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE,
CONFIG_SKB_LARGE, CONFIG_NETDEVICES, CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET,
CONFIG_NET_EISA, CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO100
Plus I can connect using this port:
$ telnet web.address.edu 8080
Trying 123.456.0.0...
Connected to web.address.edu
Escape character is '^]'.

I also tried using the standard Debian http sites for /etc/apt/sources.list,
but these gave me the same errors as my own mirror.
When I try using the ftp method, it fetches about half the files and then
freezes at: [Logging in], and eventually times out. When I ftp manually
(using ftp on the command line), everything seems fine.
Any ideas on what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Chris
