This gives me an error message "no address associated with the hostname". "ftp -p ftp.freebsd.org" gives the same error message. "nslookup ftp.freebsd.org" also gives out similar message. I did "setenv FTP_PROXY OurProxy" and then tried ftp. Same error message. This usually means that your /etc/resolv.conf does not contain IP of your DNS server. DNS server is not same as WindowsNT Domain controller. Maybe your system administrator had not setup DNS server for your local network (because it is not very needed for Windows-only networks) But I may be wrong -- Igor Roboul, System administrator at Speech Technology Center http://www.speechpro.com http://www.speechpro.ru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
