When I run M-x package-refresh-contents, emacs successfully connected to stable.melpa.org:443. After that, it was hanged on "Contacting host: elpa.gnu.org:80". I am pretty sure that I am not behind proxy. Then I tried to ping this host and this is what I got: me@server:~$ ping elpa.gnu.org:80 ping: unknown host elpa.gnu.org:80 However, pinging other websites is normal. I also tried to access this (elpa.gnu.org:80) on my local computer and it is accessible. Does anyone get a hint of what is going on? Thank you so much! Best regards, Yichao
