Thanks for the quick response! I assume that adding these lines to the make.conf is the same as setting them as environment variables? If I do this, I get: # set HTTP_PROXY="http://<foo>:80" (where foo is my proxy server; the same address makes mozilla work) # fetch http://ftp.freebsd.org/<file>; (where <file> is a valid file) fetch: http://ftp.freebsd.org/<file>: Host not found ----Original Message Follows---- From: Khairil Yusof <kaeru@pd.jaring.my> To: Anthony Discolo <avdiscolo@hotmail.com> CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ftp/fetch/cvsup behind a firewall Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 03:23:32 +0800 On Mon, 2004-02-02 at 11:12 -0800, Anthony Discolo wrote: > I don't have a /usr/share/examples/etc/defaults/make.conf, but I have a > /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf.

No they don't. :) cvs and cvsup, access a cvs server for latest updates and other info, not an ftp server. -- "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
