This might be the same problem I am having. I never thought of the firewall since I could manually download the files without a problem. I will try it at home tonight and confirm if this might be the case. I only seem to be having problems with packman though.
Hmm..I wonder. I had been following your thread with interest, and was curious as to the source of your issues. Do try this and let us know. I just got to work and gave SMART a shot (after opeining up my bluecoat credentials). Sure enough, it failed with a really long ugly message. :)
Well, I just confirmed, though I'll be damned if I understand it. It works perfectly from home. I never suspected a firewall because : 1) It used to work just fine (ok this is weak) 2) I can manually download the file via http (which I assume is what SMART is using. 3) Other repositories are fine, only Packman doesn't work. Your symptoms seem to be different though, but I think it is fair to assume that SMART has some problems with firewalls. Don't know what to do about it though, as I know little (read nothing) of firewalls. Marius
