While this is possible, I find it unlikely. What evidence do you have to show that it's a firewall blocking communication? Furthermore, what evidence do you have to show that it's a firewall under the control of the FreeBSD project. I (and I'm sure others on this list) will be happy to help, but you're going to have to provide more details of the problem. What, exactly, are you trying to do, and how, exactly, is it failing. Please provide exact commands and responses (error messages). Additionally, the output of "traceroute www.freebsd.org" from the problematic server would be helpful. I've removed various emails from the return message, as there's no reason to spam them with troubleshooting on the questions mailing list. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
