Re: Unknown Host error in windows 2003

[Fi Dot]

1. I could not ping any host even google.com, but I can browse the internet
without any problem. I dont know much about networking, so I dont know whats
wrong with my DNS.


It looks like you are getting to the internet thorough proxy then. Can
you send the exact output of ping google.com command? Also, please
send ipconfig /all output (remove any sensitive data from there).


2. I dont get the IP address of the site I am downloading. If it is
google.com I can get the IP address, but if it is something like
google.com/something/something/something.zip then I dont get the IP address
of that particular page.


The IP address is bound to the host, dude :) You should not be able to
get the IP address of the particular page, as you are saying.


3. I tried setting the port no. 80 in my http_proxy. I tried setting it like
wget -e http_proxy= but it didnt work. is this the right way I am
setting???

actually i am trying to use a  https site to download a zip file. for this
do I need to use https option in wget , but I did not find any option in
that to give user name and password. please help



I see. This makes a lot of sence now. Maybe your proxy is not working
correctly with HTTPS?

The options for user and password are

--http-user  and
--http-password

or just

--user
--password



Also, you have mentioned that your XP machine is doing just fine. What
is the difference between that machine and your Win2k3 server? Do they
use different gateways? It looks like it has something to do with how
networking is set up on that Win2k3 machine vs XP machine.

.listing files and ftp_proxy

[David Creasy]

Hi,
I've looked, but been unable to find the answer to this rather simple 
question. (It's been asked before, but I can't see an answer.)


wget --passive-ftp --dont-remove-listing -d "ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/";

gives me a .listing file, but:

wget -e ftp_proxy=http://proxy:1234 --passive-ftp --dont-remove-listing 
-d "ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/";


just gives me the index.html file and no .listing file.
Using alternate ways of specifying the proxy server doesn't make any 
difference.


Is there any easy fix for this, or is it the same as:

Thanks in advance for any advice,

David

Could you tell me what could be issue here, thanks


It has something to do with your name resolution. Have you tried

- Pinging the host you are trying to download from
- Accessing it by IP address
- Just connecting to it on port 80 to see if it lest you in?
