Hello,

I'm trying to set a server for a friend of mine :

Router : 192.168.1.1
Server : 192.168.1.56

The problem is "simple" : I can "wget www.youtube.com" but I can't "wget www.google.com" (although I can ping it), I really don't understand where is the logic !?

The "wget www.google.com" give me this :

caribou@serverkao:~$ wget www.google.com
--02:14:28--  http://www.google.com/
           => `index.html.1'
Resolving www.google.com... 209.85.135.147, 209.85.135.99, 209.85.135.103, ...
Connecting to www.google.com|209.85.135.147|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...

And let me wait like this !

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces :

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.56
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1

If you have some ideas...

maybe the server was busy then
did you try visiting it in browser?

wget has its own user agent string. It is possible that it is blocked, though I can't imagine why, particularly from Google.

It is possible to spoof a string from Firefox or Internet Explorer. Use the U or user-agent switch along with one from the browser you'd like to spoof.
