GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 118169
Cycles indefinitely trying to connect to server
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
My provider news.speakeasy.net has different rules about authenticating on-net vs off-net. I'm currently on-net and couldn't remember what the rule was, so I just left "requires authentication" unchecked, figuring it would give me an error right away. pan said it was connected and reported speed on my DSL line at 0.5 KB/s (which I admit should have made me suspicious), task 1/1, 0 groups downloaded from news.speakeasy.net. This message flashed for about 15 minutes, then pan crashed. I watched my DSL modem the entire time, and the lights were flashing as if something were happening. I brought it back up, and this time checked the authentication checkbox and gave it my credentials. This time it gave me a connecton speed of about 60 KB/s, and the counter went up quickly. pan should detect it's connection is being rejected, report that and stop.
