Hi Terry, > Yea, im lost on this one. Ethereal doesn't show anything strange, just > the initial connection request, just doesn't seem to get anything back. I tried connecting from a machine running openSUSE 10.3 (without going through a proxy). There is something weird in the first reply from the server in the TCP section of the package analysis: TCP Analysis Flags: A segment before this frame was lost In the following frames I see: This frame is a (suspected) retransmission And then the connection stops. No idea what that means, though. Maybe that helps. > Doesn't really make sense that only this one site (at least that I know > of) is having this issue. The SUSE firewall is turned off, network card > is configured properly, etc... Well, that seems to be a strong hint that something is wrong with this server. Could you try from another Linux distribution to rule out it's a bug in openSUSE?
