Problem with ipkg

[John Wynen]

Hi Everyone

Finally got around to unslinging my box with 3.17b. That went well.
However am having a problem with "ipkg update"

When I run "ipkg -verbose_wget update" i get
# ipkg -verbose_wget update
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/unstable/Packages.gz
--01:43:27-- http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/unstable/Packages.gz
=> `/tmp/ipkg-SrjG4A/Packages.gz'
Resolving %22192.168.1.1%22... failed: Host not found.
ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 1: `wget --passive-ftp
-P /tmp/ipkg-SrjG4A http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.oAn error ocurred, return value: 1

I can ping ipkg.nslu2-linux.org fine. The nslu is behind a WRT54g
router. Any guesses as to what I have configured wrong?

Thanks

John

Thanks visvambhara. I have set the dns and gateway through the
webmin interface, and that did not help. the NSLU2 can resolve
ipkg.nslu2-linux.org during a ping, but cant during ipkg.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

John

Only ideas...

Resolving %22192.168.1.1%22... failed: Host not found.

Means, in httpspeak, the character "

I.e. the double quote character.

The fact that you can ping the relevant (textual) addresses means that the
system is set up correctly (i.e. the router is fine and access to the
Internet is fine too).

192.168.1.1 is one of your local machines (because 192.168.anything is
invalid on the Internet). wget with --passive-ftp might (I am not sure)
attempt to resolve the local address. My guess would be that one of the
local files (e.g. /etc/hostname, /etc/hosts) contains inappropriate "
characters.
