host blocking on ftp.redhat.com?

[ryan]

really hoping someone can offer insight.  i just changed to my fourth IP
because i'm having to do the one-by-one up2date process (hang issue on
'check dependencies' when selecting many packages at once)

it worked up to about 10 minutes ago, but now ftp.redhat.com (rawhide)
is not responding to any syn's from me when up2date goes to grab the
header.info file.

35.700275 142.59.19.69 -> 66.187.224.51 TCP 35764 > http [SYN]
Seq=1481498168 Ack=0 Win=5840 Len=0
 38.698973 142.59.19.69 -> 66.187.224.51 TCP 35764 > http [SYN]
Seq=1481498168 Ack=0 Win=5840 Len=0
 44.698878 142.59.19.69 -> 66.187.224.51 TCP 35764 > http [SYN]
Seq=1481498168 Ack=0 Win=5840 Len=0
 56.698724 142.59.19.69 -> 66.187.224.51 TCP 35764 > http [SYN]
Seq=1481498168 Ack=0 Win=5840 Len=0

surfing anywhere else on the Internet or performing any other function
from this box works fine.  as well, i can hit http://ftp.redhat.com from
a windows box right beside me here.

thoughts anyone?  i swear i'm not intentionally trying to tick off the
rawhide box :-)  just trying to up2date fedora test 3!

cheers
