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
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
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.

Connection time-out but then immediately after, no problem

For some reason, the first time I use pacman (after not having used it in a while), the connection times out, but when I Ctrl+C and then do the exact same thing, it starts working.
Any ideas why?

I'm using SSH to connect to the server where this problem is happening, indicating that the LAN connection works. Before invoking pacman I've tried pinging google.com, which works flawlessly.
The problem is still there, I just tried it.
EDIT: This actually happens with wget too:

[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 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).

HT4628 my powerbook g4 os x 10.5.8 leopard is showing-Connection time out while connecting to the wifi.however it showing all available wifi connections around but not connecting it..however ethernet is working

Problem while connecting with Wi-Fi,
When i am connecting my powerbook g4 leopard to any Wi-fi connection it showing -Connection time out, however Ethernet is working .I have updated all softwares but still same problem.

It's possible that either the internal AirPort Extreme card or the antenna is faulty or has failed.
One last thing to try before going with another Wi-Fi solutions is to the following:
Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)
3. Run the Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
Restart or log out then back in.
4. Turn off the Mac OS X Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
Click the "Stop" button.
5. Create a New User Account
System Preferences > Accounts
Click "+" to add a new account
Log off, then log back on with the new user account.
Try connecting with the AirPort.
If none of these help resolve the issue, you may want to consider getting a USB wireless adapter to replace both the internal card and antenna. One such vendor of these adapters is Other World Computing (OWC).

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's fairly certain it's your local network. Why are you trying to mirror something you already have on the Apple TV.

How do you avoid Connection Time Out when using Migration Assistant

Connection Time Out occurred when trying to use Migration Assistant to Transfer filess from a Windows Computer to a new iMac. What do I do to avoid this?
I've connected the Windows computer to the iMac using an ethernet cable and both computers are on the same network. When I started the transfer, it said it was copying the first file on both machines but nothing was happening. Then finally it said there was a Connection Time out. Is there anything else I need to check?

I suspect it has something to do with your network settings on your PC. I'd recommend calling AppleCare right away. you have 90 days of free AppleCare telelphone support, they can help walk you through the process. Also if you haven't already i'd strongly recommend Pondini's guide to using Migration Assistant. You can locate it by clicking:

Cannot connect to WIFI - 'connection time out occured' but also says 'no ip address'

Hi,
I've searched the web and found endless issues with the wifi router / etc of the Imac Lion system. On the same wifi network we have a mac book (leopard I think), a pc laptop (which I am using now) and 2 phones + my brand new Imac with Lion osx. The first 4 items all connect with no problems.
I tried some of the sollutions here but it even made it worse as I now not have any connection at all!
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
When I try to connect trhough systems preferences/network I get the message that my password is incorrect and that there is no IP address. Password is definitely correct. When I try to connect from the symbol in the right top corner - I get the message 'connection time out occured'
I am a bit of a Mac dummy ... any help is really appreciated.
Thanks

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).

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 :

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.
Cheers,
Prashanth

I'm pretty sure you can disable all the mirrors you don't want to use, try lowering the list to only those in Asia to minize your waiting time atleast. I get a time-out occasionally on the first run, but running anything inside China's GFW is a roll of the dice.

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
