I'm trying to install Samba.  I looked in my FreeBSD manual and FAQ and followed the instructions,  but no luck.  Like it tells me to do,  I type in:

# cd /usr/ports/net/samba
then:
# make install
but get errors:
>> samba-1.9.18p8.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system.
>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba.
fetch:  samba.anu.edu.au: Host name lookup failure
>> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this
>> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

bash#

I can see samba in /usr/ports/net,  so it's there on my machine.  I also have the 4 FreeBSD CD's with all the ports,  so I shouldn't have to download anything.

Any suggestions?

Thank for your help,

Bryan
