(and the same for the other two nokia repositories)

This only happens when I have my N900 connected to my home WiFi (Orange ADSL with Livebox 2 router). On different WiFis the app manager correctly searchs for updated software. However, on my home WiFi I have full internet access (using a PC and also using the N900) and I can browse the web through MicroB. Even I can connect to https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com and the name is correctly resolved.

I have tried changing the DNS in the N900 WiFi connections from auto to fixed DNS, but the app manager still shows the same message. I have tried using fixed DNS in the router, but with no success.

Do you have any idea about the problem?

Best regards.
The thing is that downloads.maemo.nokia.com then redirects to another server, which is where the resolution is failing. Usually the issue is with the DNS servers used - you need to change them either in the WiFi router, on the N900, or both. Try using the Google DNS servers instead (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
