Bug#80235: www.debian.org: Cannot see debian.org, probably because of rejected, ident requests (firewall)

[Etienne Gagnon <gagnon@sable.mcgill.ca>]

Package: www.debian.org
Version: 20001221
Severity: critical

Hi!

I cannot see www.debian.org (nor www.*.debian.org) from www.j-meg.com
(216.208.77.253).

I had, one week ago, installed a firewall that blocked (REJECT) requests
to the port 113 of www.j-meg.com.
This is something I shouldn't have done, it seems, because now
www.debian.org's firewall seems to stop all
my http requests!  So, I opened back my ident (113) port; but it seems to
be too late.  www.debian.org now
rejects all my packets, including "ping" requests!

Please fix this.

Thanks.

Etienne M. Gagnon
