apt-get: 93 Protocol not supported



Yesterday I installed frozen on a new machine.  I used the network to
fetch all the packages from a local mirror (http, port 8080).  Everything
worked fine.  Now when I try to use apt, I get the following:

    # apt-get update
    Err http://web.address.edu potato/main Packages
      Could not create a socket - socket (93 Protocol not supported)

    <snip>

    Failed to fetch http://web.address.edu:8080/debian/dists/potato/main/
        binary-i386/Release
      Could not create a socket -- socket (93 Protocol not supported)

I did recompile the kernel to support my CD-RW, but I used the same
settings I've always used, and the networking options seem perfectly
appropriate (all set to yes):

    CONFIG_NET, CONFIG_PACKET, CONFIG_FIREWALL, CONFIG_INET,
    CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL, CONFIG_IP_TRANSPORT_PROXY, CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE,
    CONFIG_SKB_LARGE, CONFIG_NETDEVICES, CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET, 
    CONFIG_NET_EISA, CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO100

Plus I can connect using this port:

    $ telnet web.address.edu 8080
    Trying 123.456.0.0...
    Connected to web.address.edu
    Escape character is '^]'.
    HEAD / HTTP 1.1

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 16:34:55 GMT
    Server: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) Debian/GNU
    Connection: close
    Content-Type: text/html

    Connection closed by foreign host

I also tried using the standard Debian http sites for /etc/apt/sources.list,
but these gave me the same errors as my own mirror.

When I try using the ftp method, it fetches about half the files and then
freezes at: [Logging in], and eventually times out.  When I ftp manually
(using ftp on the command line), everything seems fine.

Any ideas on what's going wrong?

Thanks,

Chris
