problems with Kubuntu+D-Link G604T+FTP or apt-get
 
I'm running Kubuntu and have a bit of a problem with network.
Everything else works, but apt-get fails to connect. Any FTP downloads aren't working either.
My router is D-Link G604T with NAT enabled.
Also a problem occured during installation, but I got rid of it, when I unplugged the ethernet cable for the installation. With the cable connected it stuck, however, to something related to apt configuration and network.

First thing I would do is see if you can connect to the internet, then if it is a localized problem with ftp check to make sure your router isn't blocking outbound ftp. Then see if you can even get a clean route, just try and telnet to port 21 on the servers listed in your apt-sources.list.

The network is working fine. Even FTP works good on Windows. On Kubuntu the only problems seem to be FTP and especially apt-get.
I am really a newbie, and I actually don't know how to use Telnet... :o

Hehe no prob.
I have not used kubuntu but since it is derived from debian I will give you the steps I would check on a debian box.
First I would do a:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
you will see lines like the following:
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main
yours will most likely be ftp:// so strip out everything except the hostname and do the following:
$ telnet mirrors.kernel.org 21
if it connects then it will say "welcome to <hostname>" or the version of ftpd software they are using.
if it connects hit Ctrl + ] and enter to quit then type in quit.
if this works then you are able to connect on port 21 then please dump the error you are getting with apt :)

Ok, I tried that, nothing happened, it just said "Trying 1.0.0.0..." and nothing else...
I've opened up the port 21 in my router config, so that _should_ not be the matter..
Any more ideas? :)

Yep, please post your /etc/apt/sources.list.

What is the error that apt gives you when you try to connect? Everything looks pretty good in your sources.list

massi 08-22-2005 05:50 AM

With all the servers in the list it just gives
"Err http://security.ubuntu.com hoary-security Release.gpg
Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 (1.0.0.0), connection timed out"
(seems the problem wasn't with the port since it's 80, not 21..?)

I have the same router, your linux its ok, the problem is the router + linux, internet only works a few time in linux, and it works perfectly with windows, strange for a router with a linux as firmware.

you can know more about the router here:

http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/DlinkDslG604t

And here you have modified firmwares:
