pveam update - hangs on ProxMox v1.3

[apmuthu]

On my windows desktop I am able to download the file:

[URL]ftp://download.proxmox.com/appliances/aplinfo.dat.gz[/URL]

I am unable to download the said file on the ProxMox v1.3 Console like:

wget [URL]ftp://download.proxmox.com/appliances/aplinfo.dat.gz[/URL]

This is what I get:

# wget [URL]ftp://download.proxmox.com/appliances/aplinfo.dat.gz[/URL]
--2010-05-19 22:53:36--  [URL]ftp://download.proxmox.com/appliances/aplinfo.dat.gz[/URL]

Ping however works fine:

# ping 92.51.129.73

Even the http download hangs at:

# wget [URL]http://download.proxmox.com/appliances/aplinfo.dat.gz[/URL]

Actually it appears that we cannot download anything on the host thru ports 21 and 80. All the guests can download on any port and are fine - both KVM and OpenVZ containers.

On the host it hangs with

# wget [URL]http://www.google.com[/URL]

Re: pveam update - hangs on ProxMox v1.3 - Non-Issue

It was a pfSense (v1.2.3 RC1) issue and ProxMox was fine!
Logged on to the pfSense as an admin and had to go to

Diagnostics -> Commands

and execute some read command like

# cat /etc/hosts

and close the pfSense Window. Found a nice guide here.
Actually the entire command page was in beta testing and 'use at your own risk'.
