[Solved] Cannot upload files

Doctor Drive · 2010-08-30 13:05:33

Suddenly, strange things began to happen.
My firewall disabled, but I can not upload any files.
I cannot post large posts in forums (like 3000 characters or something), i cannot upload anything via ftp (even small 3 kb files), nor upload a picture on resources such as facebook.
I also tried enabling firewall with such rules

*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
COMMIT

but that didn't help either. So, any suggestions what could be the problem?
Nothing suspicious in logs, no errors.

Can you somehow confirm that it is a problem with your arch install, and not something hardware related?

/OT
Experienced the same once in an internet cafe in very rural Indonesia, could read emails but not sent one. Asked the staff about it, they told me they can't do anything, I'll have to wait until the weather clears up Turns out they had no landline and all connections were satellite-based. Downstream was ok, but upstream rarely made it through the clouds. Came back when the sun was up, and everything worked fine!

Nope, upload does not work on my Arch installation, but it certainly works from Parted Magic.

The issue was first seen after I tried kernel26-lts 2.6.32-20
After reebooting into my latest kernel (2.6.35) it worked again.

But after that accident, sometimes it did't work.
And now it doesn't work at all.

That sounds pretty stupid, fishy and unrelated, but that what I observed.
Maybe coincidence though.
