apt-get behind a linksys router/firewall
I just bought a linksys firewall and am not having an
unexpected error. When I try to run apt-get I am not
able to download anything. When I run I get this
massage after a minute:
Data socket connect timed out
Failed to fetch
ftp://debian.pipcom.com/debian/debian/pool/main/a/aumix/aumix_2.8-6_i386.deb
Data socket connect timed out
I also notice that I can't ftp outside the firewall
unless I specify passive mode. So, it seems that
apt-get is trying to ftp using active mode. However,
I thought that apt-get used passive mode by default.
Am I wrong about that? How can I tell apt-get to use
passive mode for ftp transfers, I didn't find the
apt.conf man page to be very clear about this since it
seems that it assumes apt-get will run in passive
mode? Or, is there something else wrong that I am missing?
