http://unix.stackexchange.com – There is a website of a browser game http://tankionline.com. I can open the website but when I try to connect from either Ubuntu or Mint to any of their servers for playing it gives me an error message like connection to server ... failed or something similar. I assume this is the firewall issue but any solution which I can google does not help me. Any idea on how to solve it is appreciated. Thank you. (HowTos)

There is a website of a browser game http://tankionline.com. I can open the website but when I try to connect from either Ubuntu or Mint to any of their servers for playing it gives me an error message like connection to server ... failed or something similar.

2012/10/26 14:57:49 [error] 14180#0: *2 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 24.0.20.48, server: , request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:81/", host: "107.20.184.144"

This is the nginx error that I get which results in a 503 error. Not sure what to do about it.

This was working well until a couple of days ago. I can't recall having done anything to the server leading it to start closing the connection. Also I have no idea what exitcode 128 means, and can't find anything about it.

I use sudo pppoeconf method to connect to Internet. This works fine with 11.10 and older versions but not with 12.04 derivatives like Linux Mint-Maya, Pinguy OS, Zorin 6.0 etc.

Please help me I am worried as 12.04 is LTS.

This is the message I get in Google chrome browser:

This web page is not available. The server at encrypted.google.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed.

I'm trying to use Vinagre on openSUSE 11.2 to make remote connection to another host. I keep getting a "connection closed" message. This happens both when I try to connect to my local XP box (which has Remote Desktop activated) or when I try to connect to a server on the network. (It looks like my firewall has VNC, VNC Server, and VNC mini-HTTP Server all as Allowed Services.)

Generally, I use 01FTP for updating and changing the website, but to be honest that is rather slow and I much prefer having all my programs to do editing available.

squid and ftp connections 35 weeks 1 day ago

i have a squid proxy server for both, http and ftp connections, i'm trying to use filezilla to open a ftp, but it always fail with an error saying:

Status: Connection with proxy established, performing handshake... Response: Proxy reply: HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden Error: Proxy handshake failed: ECONNRESET - Connection reset by peer Error: Connection timed out Error: Failed to retrieve directory

Connection closed [preauth] 17 weeks 2 days ago

On a Ubuntu 12.04 server, I am getting the following pair of messages in auth.log several times a minute:

Jan 17 22:04:25 binx sshd[14659]: Connection closed by 192.168.0.1 [preauth] Jan 17 22:04:25 binx sshd[14661]: Connection closed by 192.168.0.5 [preauth]

Both those IP addresses belong to separate computers (192.168.0.1 is our firewall/router, 192.168.0.5 is our backup machine), and seem to

Any idea why a connection to the server can not be established? According to the OpenVPN-FAQ these errors are caused if the firewall port is blocked (http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/faq/79-client/253-tls-error-tls...). We've opened port 1194 on our firewall.
