Well, after thourough examination and a word with the network administrator=
 I=20
learnt that my FreeBSD 5.4 client cannot resolve the name (and the IP too) =
of=20
portsnap.daemonology.net because it is behind a firewall and a proxy (which=
=20
=2Dby the way - I had already defined via both $HTTP_PROXY and $http_proxy;=
 as=20
I stated in so doing "make install" under a port works flawlessly downloadi=
ng=20
whatever is needed!).
According to the admin (windows 2000 network) portsnap is not able to use t=
he=20
name resolution of the proxy as other programs like browsers can and relies=
=20
on the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf only.
Any idea for this poor newbie?
