Hi! I guess this is not a Gentoo problem but I'm using Gentoo at the moment and this seemed like the right forum to present my problem.
The error occurs when doing 'emerge rsync' or putting files to a remote site over ftp. The error occurs only when I have a dialup ppp-connection. Everything works fine when connected through ethernet. The same error occurs with ftp using different clients. The last one I used was python's ftplib. I thought that I would possibly find the error that way. No success... The only thing that I can notice that everything concerning the net just halts. Route command gives the following before and after. I guess something weird is going on with the name resolution. Before: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 21e0.yhteys.mtv * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo default 21e0.yhteys.mtv 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 After: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 62.236.224.33 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo default 62.236.224.33 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 Any help is appreciated. - Niklas -- Niklas Koponen | Hietapellontie 3 B 7 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] +358 40 757 1459 | 02400 KIRKKONUMMI | http://www.iki.fi/niklas.koponen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
