Trying to cvsup some ports and I get this when I run
cvsup ports-supfile:

"Cannot get ip address of my own host -- is its
hostname correct?"

Here's what I have in the supfile:


# $FreeBSD: src/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile,v
1.19.2.3 2000/09/22 06:31:21 asami Exp $
#
# This file contains all of the "CVSup collections"
that make up the
# FreeBSD-current ports collection.
#
# CVSup (CVS Update Protocol) allows you to download
the latest CVS
# tree (or any branch of development therefrom) to
your system easily
# and efficiently (far more so than with sup, which
CVSup is aimed
# at replacing).  If you're running CVSup
interactively, and are
# currently using an X display server, you should run
CVSup as follows
# to keep your CVS tree up-to-date:
#
#       cvsup ports-supfile
#
# If not running X, or invoking cvsup from a
non-interactive script, then
# run it as follows:
#
#       cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile
#
# You may wish to change some of the settings in this
file to better
# suit your system:
#
# host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
#               This specifies the server host which
will supply the
#               file updates.  You must change it to
one of the CVSup
#               mirror sites listed in the FreeBSD
Handbook at
#              
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors.html.
#               You can override this setting on the
command line
#               with cvsup's "-h host" option.
#
# base=/usr
#               This specifies the root where CVSup
will store information
#               about the collections you have
transferred to your system.
#               A setting of "/usr" will generate this
information in
#               /usr/sup.  Even if you are CVSupping a
large number of
#               collections, you will be hard pressed
to generate more than
#               ~1MB of data in this directory.  You
can override the
#               "base" setting on the command line
with cvsup's "-b base"
#               option.  This directory must exist in
order to run CVSup.
#
# prefix=/usr
#               This specifies where to place the
requested files.  A
#               setting of "/usr" will place all of
the files requested
#               in "/usr/ports" (e.g.,
"/usr/ports/devel", "/usr/ports/lang").
#               The prefix directory must exist in
order to run CVSup.

# Defaults that apply to all the collections
#
# IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the
CVSup mirror sites
# listed at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors.html.
*default host=cvsup3.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix

# If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out
the following line.
*default compress

## Ports Collection.
#
# The easiest way to get the ports tree is to use the
"ports-all"
# mega-collection.  It includes all of the individual
"ports-*"
# collections,
#ports-all

# These are the individual collections that make up
"ports-all".  If you
# use these, be sure to comment out "ports-all" above.
#
# Be sure to ALWAYS cvsup the ports-base collection if
you use any of the
# other individual collections below. ports-base is a
mandatory collection
# for the ports collection, and your ports may not
build correctly if it
# is not kept up to date.
ports-base
#ports-archivers
#ports-astro
#ports-audio
#ports-benchmarks
#ports-biology
#ports-cad
#ports-chinese
#ports-comms
#ports-converters
#ports-databases
#ports-deskutils
#ports-devel
#ports-editors
#ports-emulators
#ports-french
#ports-ftp
#ports-games
#ports-german
#ports-graphics
#ports-hebrew
#ports-irc
#ports-japanese
#ports-java
#ports-korean
#ports-lang
#ports-mail
#ports-math
#ports-mbone
#ports-misc
#ports-net
#ports-news
#ports-palm
#ports-print
#ports-russian
ports-security
ports-shells
#ports-sysutils
#ports-textproc
#ports-vietnamese
#ports-www
#ports-x11
#ports-x11-clocks
#ports-x11-fm
#ports-x11-fonts
#ports-x11-servers
#ports-x11-toolkits
#ports-x11-wm
ports-kde

I even tried to replace the hostname with their ip
address and still did not work!
