Pal it was a typo! I will try it again and hopefully give you some rest

Could not resolve host: downloads.maemo.nokia.com Domain not found

@AdnrewG
Thanks for backing me up. Kind of felt missunderstood. I am not tweaking anything.

Can any of you try to access: downloads.maemo.nokia.com with a regular browser?

Markus

No problem. We just had to make sure.

So the name of Nokia's repository server could not be resolved although (as we know now) it was spelled correctly. Which could be due to a number of reasons:
  • your aren't properly connected to the internet
  • your access point (e.g. DSL modem) does not resolve hostnames properly
  • your N900 does not forward DNS requests properly (AFAIK it runs a special daemon to forward name server requests - this process may have died).
Are you currently able to surf the internet with your N900? (I apologize if this sounds like a dumb question)

No, access seems to be restricted.

Access could be restricted to the App Manager application - I would not worry about not being able to browse the download directory with an ordinary browser, it's probably not meant to be.

@BigLebowski

Yes I have internet access.

I tried it over wireless in my office, wireless at home and 2.5 G over the net. So I have different ISP at home and office so I would have different DNS serving me.

Also I can reach the page by normal browser in office which would mean I have the DNS resolving correct.

So the question is? Who can or cannot access these repositories from the N900 and from what country/provider.

Regards Markus

I'm not sure if I end up with the same conclusion. From what I understand now, your N900 can resolve any hostname, regardless how you connect to the internet, it only fails to resolve correctly when using the App Manager.

While it is certainly possible (ISP-wise) to block certain hostnames / domains from being resolved, it's far more likely that the App Manager on your device is to blame.

what do you mean by it gets stuck? is it giving you a error msg like "operation failed" or anything like that? what happens when it "gets stuck"
