(should have checked my list mailbox first - I already replied to this,
but I'll do it again here for the benefit of the list)
No, cannot run fetch from the commandline either. I *do* have kernel
firewalling support turned on (using the mostly default "client" mode
in /etc/rc.firewall. The only thing not default is I added a line to
pass ssh connections). I thought this might be part of the problem, but
I have not yet tested it. When I get a minute, I'll turn off firewalling
to see what happens. However, like I said in the original message, ONE
port DID work (don't remember which one), and that was with the same setup.
Other than that, no ftp problems or dns problems.
