Unable to communicate with www.pfsense.com -> when accessing available packages
-
Any time I attempt to search available packages, I get this error
"Unable to communicate with www.pfsense.com. Please verify DNS and interface configuration, and that pfSense has functional Internet connectivity."DNS is pointed to 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4, no DNS forwarding, and I can resolve hostnames from the command line.
if I try accessing packages manually from the command line
fetch -o - http://www.pfsense.org/packages/pkg_config.8.xmlI get this error.
fetch: http://www.pfsense.org/packages/pkg_config.8.xml: No buffer space available
This is directly connected to the internet, no proxy no other filter/firewall.
I had previously installed a package, so it worked at one time.
Please advise - Thanks -
Do you have free space on disk? I've never seen buffer error on fetch cmd.

I'm good on space. I might lab up another one with the same config, and see if I have similar problems. This machine is remote and very busy, so I'm hoping I don't have to do that. Storage is on a 1G CF

Can you fetch to /tmp ?
Steve
-
cannot fetch to /tmp, but I can create a file in there.

Ah so perhaps a network buffer problem, though I would expect some other network issues.
What does 'netstat -m' show?Steve

I would say that for some reason your tcp transmit buffer is full. Or at least it's emptying far slower than it should.
Just a guess though.If you Google the problem you'll see it can be caused by something as simple as a loose network card or bad cable.
