You can try downloading the file manually, # cd /usr/ports/distfiles # fetch -p ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/somewhere/somefile.tgz The '-p' option will use "passive" ftp to get the file. This is will probably solve your firewall problem. An alternate way to do this is to set the following environmental varaible, # setenv FTP_PASSIVE_MODE # (for csh or tcsh) # FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=""; export FTP_PASSIVE_MODE # (for sh or bash) And then "make" from the ports directory as usual. -- Crist J.
