Hi: 
 
I recently installed FreeBSD from an ftp site.  Everything went reasonably 
well except for one important thing:  I can't access any ftp site from my 
machine.  I also can't use pkg_add.  Both ftp and pkg_add report "connection 
refused" for any site I try to connect to.  What makes it more strange is 
that I can use /stand/sysinstall to get packages over the internet without 
any problems.  I can also browse the internet from within KDE no problem.  
 
Does anybody know what might be causing this problem?  This might be 
unrelated, but I think I may have given my computer the wrong hostname (as 
far as I know, my computer doesn't have a hostname for me to give it!). 
 
Any help would be appreciated! 
 
Cameron
