ftp.debian.org cannot be reached
Hello maintainers,
I found your e-mail address here:
http://www.debian.org/contact
I had detected a problem when I asked a question in a
German Debian forum:
http://www.debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=420815#420815
Someone gave me an answer that was rather useless to me:
He gave me a URL that was a dead link.
But: I found out that (nearly) all other people in this
forum and in my circle of friends could resolve that link,
but I could never resolve it in person.
The problem:
I have an Internet connection based on Alice-DSL.
For me, the link
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/ChangeLog
is a dead link.
Some other Alice-DLS costumers cannot resolve that
link, too.
The server ftp.debian.org is only reachable via ping
(and gives me the IP address 128.101.240.212), but never
with:
- wget
- Mozilla
- Opera
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
if I try that shortened URL: "http://ftp.debian.org";.
In the meantime, I suppose that the administrator of
ftp.debian.org blocks any connection from Alice-DSL
customers.
Even the traceroute command gives me a result, perhaps
you can make use of that:
# traceroute ftp.debian.org

Can anyone of you examine this problem and tell me what
exactly the problem is?
I think, it is not good that for some people the information
in the Internet is censored.
Thanks in Advance,
