Hi I sent this message the other day and updated my mirror list.  Today I

Hi all,
I'm sorry if this has been covered but I have had trouble with my mail.
I use the command eix-sync && emerge -auvtDN world && prelink -aqR to
update my system. However, since Friday I am getting the following
output:-
* Removing old portage-cache in /var/cache/edb/dep ...               {ok ]
* Running emerge --sync ...
* Problems running time emerge --sync                             [ !! ]
* emerge --sync failed

Has anybody any ideas as to what is causing this and how to solve it?
Thanks
Paul

Rsync-server needs direct connection to your computer. According to your `timed out', are you behind firewall/NAT or something like this?
