Try as I might, I still cant manage this.

I know the address of my firewall, I know the port on which it 
listens (80), but nowhere can I give the install program the address 
of the firewall.

The handbook (section 
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook17.html, last part) says:

     Note: Active and passive modes are not the same as a `proxy'
     connection, where a proxy ftp server is listening on a different
     port! 

     In such instances, you should specify the URL as something like: 

     ftp://foo.bar.com:1234/pub/FreeBSD

But it doesnt work.  (I replace foo.bar.com with ftp.freebsd.org - I 
also tried replacing it with my firewall's address, just in case).

Can you help?  Thank you.

Sitaram.
