Good morning,

I am a newbie to FreeBSD, and have a barebones-ish install done (release
2.2.7).  I need to FTP to get more dist sets, but am behind a SOCKS5 proxy
server, on a Novell 4.11 network (supports TCP/IP).  Any help would be MOST
appreciated, as I'm excited to be checking out this OS, and want to play
more :)
I have gone into the networking config, and have the connections loaded (or
however you put that).  When I try to ftp, I get no route to host - I tried
using the numeric form of the address too.

Normally if I try to ping a site from my usual workstation, I get no route
to host.  I can only FTP (that I've been able to make work so far) by using
a program called sockscap which gets you through the socks server.

Thanking you in advance for your help!
Have a great day,
Samantha
