You should be able to put the .gz or .tgz file in the /usr/ports/distfiles
directory. The ports will look here to see if the file has already been
downloaded. I am assuming that you have the ports collection installed.
One might wonder why the FreeBSD box can't talk to the Internet if you other box
can. Can you set up some kind of NAT or ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)
through your windows box?

Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie and was wondering how I would install a .gz or .tgz file
withough internet access( on the BSD side) or CD rom. I'm able to Download
files on my windows side and have a folder set up that is shared on the BSD
side of my machine.
