get stuck in SYN_SENT state when connect to yahoo

[Huc_1]

hi,

Your are in the wrong forum this forum is for linux ... I think you would get more chances if you closed this posting here and post it under network and/or HP-UX system admin.

Apart from that I cut and past of your command on my linux no problem got the page back

I did modify the command to wget http://wap.oa.yahoo.com/

no semi-colon at the end, but I suppose you did not add one to your command if you did it does return an error ... but on my node it is polite it does not hang and return the prompt.

perhaps you have something else blocking your connection ?! particular firewall security setup on your land to web ? proxy !!"

Have you tryed pinging and traceroute to this web site for a long period of time perhaps you have got a time out somewhere and are left hanging...

A sniffer tool like ethereal could perhaps be more explicit.

If you should to displace this entry put a reply in the forum to where you have set it so I or others can follow-up

Jean-Pierre
