CPAN ftp servers down?

[O. STeffen BEYer]

Hi all,

I am having troubles running CPAN today with only Net::FTP (no LWP
installed).

When I try to ftp ftp.funet.fi or ftp ftp.perl.org on the commandline, I get
a confirmation that it connected, then "connection reset by peer" after some
60 seconds or so.

C:\Temp>ftp ftp.funet.fi
Verbindung mit ftp.funet.fi wurde hergestellt.
Verbindung beendet durch Remotehost.

C:\Temp>ftp ftp.perl.org
Verbindung mit ftp.cpan.ddns.develooper.com wurde hergestellt.
Verbindung beendet durch Remotehost.

Also ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz and
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gzin
FIREFOX
seem to hang as well.

Are these two servers down for everybody, or is it just me?

Thanks! :-)

Best regards,
Steffen

Both are working for me :)

Hi Barbie,

I was able to solve the problem in the meantime (after spending 45 minutes
waiting on my provider's hotline - only to discover the solution myself at
the very moment I was being attended to!):

I had stopped and disabled the service "Windows Firewall / Internet
Connection Sharing (ICS)", as had been suggested to me by F-Secure earlier
for an unrelated problem (F-Secure's ORSP service is crashing all the time),
but for a reason unknown to me it sprang out of its "grave" and was active
again.
After I stopped and disabled it again, everything worked fine.
I only hope it does not become active again every time I boot the computer!
:-(

In any case, thank you all very much for your kind support!

Best regards,
Steffen Beyer
