I am running fetchmailconf from a machine inside a private LAN with the IP address 192.168.40.5 (yes, sorry, not RFC 1918 compliant AFAIK, but I made that mistake a LONG time ago and it would be a pain to fix it now). The other boxen in this network are at 192.168.40.x, with the (Internet) gateway at 192.168.40.1 I am running FreeBSD 3.4 STABLE with a pretty fresh (2 hour old) install (so it is quite possible I have forgotten to configure something)..
