Re: [gNewSense-users] Weird IP address problem (was Re: gNewSense-users Digest, Vol 2, Issue 54 )

[rek2GNU/Linux]

Brian is right servers that use Vhost's will have apache configure to 
point to each directory by domain instead of IP. the ip will just give 
you the default domain of the computer
usually localhost.
try using a mirror if there is one, or even better
edit your /etc/hosts file and add:

199.232.41.84  in.archive.gnewsense.org

that will make your system resolve to the right IP for that domain.

Cheers.
