Hi, Well, the subject line pretty much says it all. I'm working on updating the xorg packages on my installation so that I can install WireShark. I'm to the point in the upgrade that I'm rebuilding the ports index (I installed portupgrade-devel in favor of the current version of portupgrade as mentioned in the UPDATING file). As the instructions say, since I haven't altered the environment in any way, I didn't have to rebuild the index, I could simply do "make fetchindex". Well, this simple step isn't working so simply. At home, it did, but here at work I'm having difficulty. The connection is constantly refused. Where does this file reside? I'd like to just download it directly to /usr/ports and have the make system do what must be done. This at least works with other packages that I've had refusals on when installing. Thanks, Andy
