    Hi,
    Even I have the same problem. I mean I Jailbroke my iphone 3g which is having ios4 with baseband 05.13.04. When i navigate to cydia, the homepage is not being displayed it says “Network Error – Unable to Load (The internet connection appears to be offline) and also if when i tried to add the source repo666.ultrasn0w.com. But it says “Did not find repository”.
    
    I have full internet connection, other applications like gmail and all is working fine.
    
    Does any one else is getting the same issue? If any one has the solution for this issue, please feel free to provide it. As i am eagerly waiting to unlock my iphone 3g.
    
    Many Thanks in Advance

HELP! Whenever I tap add and then type in my URL, it goes onto the “verifying URL” and then after 5 seconds it crashes and I return to the Home Screen. Also, when I search for any packages, all that comes up are system files that are pre-installed! Whenever i try and download something it says “the source for winterboard (example) cannot be found.”
ARGH!
Please help.
