Everything went reasonably well except for one important thing: I can't access any ftp site from my machine. I also can't use pkg_add. Both ftp and pkg_add report "connection refused" for any site I try to connect to. What makes it more strange is that I can use /stand/sysinstall to get packages over the internet without any problems. I can also browse the internet from within KDE no problem. Does anybody know what might be causing this problem? This might be unrelated, but I think I may have given my computer the wrong hostname (as far as I know, my computer doesn't have a hostname for me to give it!). Any help would be appreciated!
