pacman: Connection refused under Gnome

Hi!

I have following problem: When i try to install packages or try so sync pacman (running Gnome) it says for EVERY server "connection refused".
(tried most of them and I'm not using the standard arch mirror)

When I go to console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 it works normally and I can upgrade/install packages.
I there some new Gnome-internal firewall/permission thingy?

Re: pacman: Connection refused under Gnome

I use Gnome - fully up-to-date - and I have no such problem.  Is there anything in your iptables.log?  However, I can't believe the firewall would distinguish between X and a tty.

Are you using gnome terminal?  Can you ping etc?  Is there anything else to the error other than connection refused?

My gnome is also up to date (just installed it)
iptables isn't running, the servers are pingable and I am using gnome terminal.
(it's also not working with xterm)

Apart from that, everything else seems to run normally.

System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy

Check those, gnome-terminal exports the proxy settings as shell variables, which are used by pacman (libfetch) to download packages through a proxy server.
