Nokia official repositories not available
 

First of all, I wanted to say, that I went through a lot of other topics as well to look for an answer... I only found other people having the same problem, but never some real answer how to fix this...

The problem: The "official" Nokia repositories (Nokia Applications, Nokia Software Updates and Ovi) are not available. The error message tells me: "Could not resolve host: downloads.maemo.nokia.com (Domain name not found)

I read somewhere that this is a problem with the setup of my access point (DNS configuration) and that I should use Google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4). Tried that by changing the DNS server in my router's configuration as well as changing the DNS servers in the N900's connection manager, but both didn't work.

Then I thougt I might have messed my repositories, but I checked the configuration, which seems to be ok for all of them. Further I read somewhere, that a bug in vpnc used to mess up the ip settings on the N900, that's why I hoped a complete reflash using the PR1.2 image will solve that problem, but I still get the same error message.

Does anyone have some further input for me? I even google for the problem myself, as long as you tell me what to google for ;-)

hmm... anyone?

Have you tried just deleting and recreating them? Always worth trying the simplest option first.

I tried, but editing/deleting is not possible on the Nokia repositories, and the others (extras,extras-testing,extras-devel) are working fine.

argh... for a moment I thought I solved it... It seems my 3G connection works, but not my WLAN... It really looks like a router setup problem... ports maybe?

I notice that any link from downloads.maemo.nokia.com yields "access denied" on both my computer and phone

I read somewhere that this is how it's supposed to be...
