dirk-maes,

I run SME as both server-only and server/gateway and both installations utizilze wget perfectly.

Perhaps it's a spelling or cAsE sEnSiTiViTy issue?

[dirk-maes]

wget used to work well untill today...
wget still works on gateway.
(same rule)

[Brenno]

What's the output of:

Code: [Select]

#wget --version

Does this come back with a version number and info?

[dirk-maes]

gateway = Gnu Wget 1.8.1
server only = GNU Wget 1.8.2

even can't ping on server only
?????

[Brenno]

I'm assuming that you're either running different versions of SME, or you've upgraded one system and not the other?  To my (limited) knowledge, there isn't a different wget installed depending on the server mode you choose.  That would seem odd.

In either case, you could try a manual upgrade of wget on the problem box and see if that helps out.

[dirk-maes]

server-only is a new faxserver (on old machine), running on SME Mitel 6.0.1
Gateway is the gateway, with SME 5.6

wget worked fine, just after installing cups it died...

What can't you ping ?
If your Internet connection is not present you can't expect wget to work.

So can you successfully ping a site that you are unsuccessfully trying to acess using wget ?

[dirk-maes]

yes, you are right.
It seems i've got no connection to the internet anymore (on the server-only).
But the settings haven't been changed.....
Gateway is still the correct IP.

Can't ping to any adress.

Like Ray says "What can't you ping?"
Can you ping the ip address of the site? if so you need to look at your DNS settings

I can ping for example "216.17.211.37"
but can't ping "contribs.org"

how do i check the DNS?

[raem]

Like Jack says "Can you ping the ip of your server"

also check

/etc/init.d/tinydns status
gives me
/service/tinydns: up (pid 1576) 1047706 seconds, normally down

/etc/init.d/dnscache status
gives me
/service/dnscache: up (pid 5586) 1041957 seconds, normally down

[dirk-maes]

[root@faxserver root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/dnscache status
/service/dnscache: up (pid 4097) 606 seconds, normally down
[root@faxserver root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/tinydns status
/service/tinydns: up (pid 1162) 51373 seconds, normally down

i can ping to adress of server, website,...
but can't ping to a name...

There is a Mitel 6.0 or a contribs.org 6.0.1, which is it ?

Perhaps you should uninstall cups and see if dns/wget is OK then, at least you will know whether the cups install is to blame or not.

Sorry I have never used SME in server only mode but I would suspect that at the admin console there needs to be an entry made to let the server know the address of the server that is handling DNS on the local network e.g. your gateway PC. I can't verify this as I'm away from base at the moment and working behind a secure system that does not allow me out-going VPN connections.
Have a look at the settings and see if there is any reference to a DNS server as it appears names are not being resolved for the Server only machine.

Yes that's correct, it's in the Configure this server menu selection, after logging in as admin.
You need to point your server only box at a gateway in order to get Internet access.

This is the review of my server-manager:
my gateway is called Linux and his Ip is 192.168.0.2
