Is your DNS (resolver) working properly?

If your system really is FreeBSD 4.6.2, you may need to upgrade to 4.11
first, or if you are ready for a major change, upgrade to 6.1 (which has not
yet been released, but will be before too long). FreeBSD 4.6.2 is totally
unsupported, and ports support for 4.11 is somewhat limited in that not all
ports work properly on 4.11 and many port maintainers will run newer systems.

Hope that helps,
