Re: Can't reach master.debian.org - solved
Thanks to all who offered help. Turns out it wasn't my ISP's DNS server that was out of date - it was my /etc/hosts file . I'd forgotten I set some addresses in there way back when, to try to speed things up. I took out that line and everything works fine now. -- Tom Zych This email address will expire at some point to thwart spammers.

You'd need to get the browser to send the right Host: line; since your DNS server seems to be months out of date, the easiest way to do that might be to add an entry to /etc/hosts. > Also ping www.debian.org gives 198.186.203.20. Maybe certain > subtrees are actually on another server? www.debian.org is a different server (klecker) from master, that's true, but actually it's just that http://master.debian.org/ (and anything else it doesn't know about explicitly) redirects off to that "Getting Debian from the Internet" page. If you want to get useful information from master's web server, you need to use http://bugs.debian.org/, http://lists.debian.org/, etc., so in your case you'll need entries for those in your hosts file. You probably ought to ask your network admins to fix their DNS server, though. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I tried plugging that into my browser, it changed to http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist . Loads ok but it isn't bugs. Might be master... Also ping www.debian.org gives 198.186.203.20.

I was thinking it might be that but I couldn't remember what it was called and also didn't want to toss out any red herrings. Is there a good way to tell? Some program that would send me test packets? Some way to query the kernel? Is there a deb for a kernel that'll work? I've never compiled a kernel.

Can't reach master.debian.org
Does anyone have any idea why I can't reach master.debian.org, aka bugs.debian.org? It works fine at work (Win95). At home I'm running woody and I can't so much as ping it. The address resolves ok. Don't know what to say about my network setup - ask me. (Please be specific about how to find things out.) TIA, -- Tom Zych This email address will expire at some point to thwart spammers.
