Thread: unable to connect to download.microsoft.com


i have system here have 1 computer ubuntu on 1 hard drive , xp on another, , boot between them. 1 connected netcomm nb5 modem ethernet. have second computer sitting next xp , single usb connection modem.

now, sakes of wine/winetricks, wanted files download.microsoft.com. can access site through 2 windows'; in ubuntu, neither firefox nor terminal can there.

went #ubuntu , #winehq looking , great helpful people had me run tests:
iptables says don't have ip blocked.
dig returns:

dig download.microsoft.com

said thought router dns server doing wrong things, perhaps because assumed on windows; present set can use usb windows connection , ethernet ubuntu connection @ same time.

upgraded firmware, didn't help. tried using opendns.com no avail. user switcher firefox plugin, in case microsoft decided block browser/linux, did nothing.

did read somewhere windows users blocked getting site via trojan, repeatedly assured if did wine, couldn't this.

anyhow. can live without civilization iv in wine (i can boot 1 of windows'!); people helping me thought bit of brain scratcher. what's going on? why denied download.microsoft.com?

okay. though wasn't 'just couple of hours problem' first tried , failed , set aside later couple of days ago, started working no real reason can tell. biz-arre!
