Ok, Sorry for not posting a follow-up to my original request for help, but google mail doesn't show messages sent from me until someone responds. As I was thinking about the problem, I noticed that the fetch directive for "make fetchindex" in /usr/ports was trying to get the file from htt://www.freebsd.org/ports/INDEX-6.bz2. Well, I realized that our IT structure here is for a proxy server for http stuff. After reading through the manual pages for fetch(8) and fetch(3) I did: setenv HTTP_PROXY <URL for our proxy> and walla, everything worked. So, problem solved. Andy
