[SOLVED] Pacstrap connection time-out

SOLUTION: Don't be a newbie like me and not know what DNS stands for. What I did to solve my problem was simply modify my /etc/resolv.conf to point to 8.8.8.8 instead of my default gateway.
G'day everyone, I apologize in advance for my lack of experience.
I understand this distribution is not for beginners, but I personally love steep learning curves as it provides the most enjoyable and interesting experience for me.
It's also the fastest way to learn.
Albeit, I have yet to even successfully install Arch!
I'm a little put off, but I've already deleted my Windows partition so now I am committed.
Anyways, so I've been following the absolutely wonderful Beginner's guide. But I seem to have made some huge mistake, or something is terribly wrong.
I'm only upto the part where it suggest typing "pacstrap /mnt base base-devel".
However when I put that command in, I am eventually returned with:
1 root@archiso ~ # pacstrap mnt base base-devel
==> Creating install root at /mnt
==> Installing packages to /mnt
warning: database file for 'core' does not exist
: : Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.aarnet.edu.au : Connection time-out
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from ftp.iinet.net.au : Connection time out
Etc etc. I tried using the original Mirrorlist and that gave me back 30 odd different server connection time outs. So I switched to just the Australian servers. It managed to download the 'extra' and 'community' packages when I swapped (they weren't downloading earlier either).
I've done a bit of searching (probably not enough) but I'm about to head off to sleep as it's almost midnight and I have work tomorrow. So I figured there's no harm in posting as that gives people many hours to respond. What I did find in my searching was that things like this occur when iPv6 is enabled. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of restarting (or so I believe), because as you may have seen I'm actually trying to still install! So I'm a little stuck? Any help at all is appreciated, even if it's like

I think you can use those installed packages in order to install into your home computer. Please go through the following link

I think it might help you in easy-install

Unfortunately there's no way for me to connect to this VM remotely from home. Our work network is locked up pretty tight.

Prior to deleting

I was able to ping google. My "/etc/resolve.conf" pointed to my router and there are definitely no proxies that I'm going through.
Off topic: Also, I just found out they are allowing pre-loading of Borderlands 2 D:
I think I might have to just grab another SSD from here at work and use that for Linux.
Because I deleted Windows 8 off my current SSD because it was being an arse and not letting CFDISK or Parted or GParted (Ubuntu Live) from seeing the partitions (I gave Arch ~10GB to mess with on the SSD and ~100GB on my HDD).

Connection time out error in server proxy

Hi
My scenario is file to proxy. . It is synchronous scenario.
I am giving wait time as input and in the proxy i wrote a code to wait till the inputed value and after that send a response. it is working fine only if i give less than 60 sec.
If i specify above 60 sec i am getting the connection time out error in SXMB_MONI.
Please help me to solve this.

Divia

To increase Timeout use
Go to transaction SMICM........ Goto->services......choose HTTP.....edit this service.........increase maximum processing time and activate this service
look blog for timeouts:

Connection time out

Hello everyone,
I'm using modem PK5000 from Century Link. My other two desktops are using Window and in the same room w my modem.
I got connection time out every time my computer started playing the screen saver.
All I have to do is restarting my modem but it's so unconvinience.
I called Century Link customer service and all they told me is changing the channel but it didn't solve the problem.
At school and other people's places, my wifi works just fine.
I used cleanmymac about a month ago and this problem started a week ago.
Can cleanmymac cause the problem? If so, how can I check and fix it?
I check the apple store to update my software but everything is up to date.
Can it be the firmware of my modem? My brother who uses the two desktops (and they connect to the modem with LAN cables) upgraded firmware last week and it seems like when the problem started.
And when my Mac loses the wifi signal, my printer still has the signal, but my desktop cannot log-in to page 192.168.0.1 which manages the modem and wifi even though the desktop connects w my modem by LAN cable and it still connects to the internet.
If you have any clue, please help!
Thank you so much!

Thanks Todd, Wayne,
this network timeout sure seems to be the guilty one!
I've changed it, lets see if it's fixed but sure looks like it.
The thing is that I was looking for GWWS tuning here :

but should have looked here

SOAP Adapter: Connection time out error

Hi Guys,
I do it one scenario for Proxy to webservice Asynchronous . I have send the input details through Proxy. In Sxmb_Moni shows success message. But Receiver side doesn't reach the payload. Because receiver side (Soap Adapter) shows connection time out error. But i have given correct URL and SOAP Action in receiver communication channel. Please give some suggestions to solve that issues. Please don't refer links.
Thanks & Regards
Vijay

hi
this is a time out error
increase the timeout value by specifying the parameter
XI.Timeout in the module parameter of soap Adapter
OR
1. This is because of TimeOut. The default timeout value for synchronous calls is 5
minutes. You can increase this value by setting parameter XI.Timeout in the module parameter table of
the SOAP adapter. The value must be given in milliseconds. For example, value 600000
represents the timeout value of 10 minutes. This parameter is not recognized in systems prior to SP13.
2.The Other Options is send the queue id with your request message.
http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=p:s:c
&version=3.0&...&QueueId=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
where xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is an ABAP queue ID.
3.Check your RWB message monitoring.
Is there any system failure message and holding message be there.
If then clear the messages.
4. Increase the time out parameter for HTTP in your altova xml spy.Defaultly it will be very low.

Add-on Connection Time out

Hi All...

Used rank mirror script but everyone "connection time-out

What is going on?
I can ping google no problem, but like the subject says everything says "connection time-out" when I try to
pacman -Syy
or when I try to

So what is going on?

What is going on?
It's being rewritten by dhclient or dhcpcd, most likely. You can put your settings in /etc/resolv.conf.head to get them to stick, because when dhcpcd rewrites resolv.conf it includes the contents of resolv.conf.head at the start of the file. You can also tell dhcpcd not to rewrite resolv.conf by adding "nohook resolv.conf" to /etc/dhcpcd.conf. I assume you can do the same with dhclient, but I don't know how off the top of my head and I'm writing this from a train with very patchy coverage on my phone so I'm having trouble getting the page to load.
The culprit may also be pppd, if you're running ppp connections off this machine. You can disable usepeerdns in the config for that ppp peer.

PACMAN: connection time out, PASV

Hello:
This seems to be a regular topic in the forum, but I tried to solve and I could not.
I just installed Archlinux, so, I'm still in console mode and can not paste the information.
When I try to do the:
pacman -Syy
for the update, I get that the connection times out.
I activated the:
XferCommand=/usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
For some diagnose, and it hangs in the tag PASV ..., which I do not the meaning.
I uses ping and it works, I can receive and send packages.
I selected different mirrors, like some 15, and, in all, I get this error.
I changed in the /etc/rc.conf some network things: read in a forum that, in that file, I must change the:
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
to
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
And did not work. Also I take out the "!" in the gateway, with the same results. After all that, I putted in the original form.
I'm behind a the most horrendous proxy in my college, it block many pages, but I do not thing that's the problem, because in Windows I can download from ftp, etc. After all, when using ping, it works!
Any suggestion please?
EDIT: I have a 64 bit system, if that suggest something.

Hello:
Well, the "error" message is that the "connection times out", after that, it tries to reconnect to the same mirror, and again, it gives me that message. Later, it goes to another mirror -if I have it uncommented-, and so on, until my mirror list ends.
In the /etc/rc.conf I uncommented the following line:
XferCommand=/usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
So, when I do "pacman" I get some additional information -which I can not understand-, but It connects to the server of the mirror, and some flags appears, but in the PASV flag, it hangs, until I get the connection times out message. Any idea of what indicates this flag? -passive something?-
In my /etc/resolv.conf I got:
domain: XXXXX.com
name server: XXX.XXX.X.XXX
What can I do with this information. I did not modify any file after installation, just what posted at the beginning of the thread.
I can ping to any page, for example, www.google.com, whit few lost data, and I receive the packages.
Waiting for your answers. (help!!)
Greetings

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

Itunes update to firmware fails, because connection times out.

I have been unsuccessfully attempting to update my iphone 3gs and ipad to iOS 5 for over a month now. I have spent many, many hours on this, and many phone calls to apple support. I disable Norton 360, and windows firewall, and my firewall on my router. I've tried updating my router's firmware, which bricked the router--thanks apple for insisting this was the problem, and I have replaced the router, with a new one. Itunes diagnostics gives me the following information. I am using itunes as the administrator in Windows 7, 64 bit, although itunes doesn't recognize it, unless I reinstall it as the administrator, but then once I restart the computer, itunes no longer recognizes that I using Windows as an admin.
Also, the firmware cannot update, because the connection times out, despite all my firewalls, and antivirus being turned off.
I've tried downloading iOS 5 and then updating using restore, but that didn't work. I've poured through support forums, and error codes: I get 1611, etc. Cannot seem to resolve this.
Any ideas?

Message Mapping - connection time out

Hi ,
I hae just created a message mapping and when I click on Test tab and load a payload in source and try to test the mapping , it gives me connection time out error from java...
What could be wrong ? Mapping involves an XML to IDOC .
Cheers,

Hello,
I think so (Experts, please correct me if I'm wrong). Before, we had a scenario in which the external definition was about 960kb. It really did post issues when testing in the message mapping itself. There are three options:
a.) Use less detail in your sample message mapping, in this way you can correct the error in the mapping itself.
or
b.) Test in operation mapping, and then do the correction in message mapping afterwards. If the testing is successful, make sure that you don't click the drop down icon. Instead, export the result as a zip file and then extract it. (if this hangs, go for c)
or
c.) Test at runtime
Hope this helps,
Mark

Connection time out error in HTTP

Hey guys
i m getting connection time out error in a HTTP scenario,when i go in SXMB_ADM i dont find any entry with the name HTTP_TIMEOUT.
even in RZ10 i cant find the correct profile parameter.
i m taking help from michaels blog
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/06/08/xi-timeouts-timeouts-timeouts
i m on PI7.0 SP09
is there some other place i can find this entry? or do i need to ask the basis guys to add it?
thanx
ahmad

Also, there may be other factors to consider depending on your scenario. If you don't have it already, look at the latest <a href="http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700005909032005E/XI30XI70_TroubleGuide.pdf">XI Troubleshooting Guide</a> - Section 9.2 on "Timeouts in XI".

Connection time out error

Hello sir,
Whenever i install addon on SAP B1 i get connection time out error can anyone help me

Manish,
it depends on how you set your connection. it must be through command line argument. if you have set your connection string as
sConnectionString = "0030002C0030002C00530041005000420044005F00440061007400650076002C0050004C006F006D0056004900490056"
then change it to
sConnectionString = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.GetValue(1)
and give the connection string 0030002C0030002C00530041005000420044005F00440061007400650076002C0050004C006F006D0056004900490056 as your command line argument in project properties -- Debug tab. prepare the addon ard and try installing it.

Connection time-out issues each first try of pacman

Hi,
I am new to arch. I keep getting a connection time-out each time I use pacman for the first time. I have to do a ctrl+z to stop the command and then delete the db.lck file and then when I run pacman again, any operation on pacman that I had tried works flawlessly.
Do I need to do something to fix this? I check there was a similar thread in 2012, but it ended without any results.
