What would I need >to tell to our school's network administrator? I'm not sure. Ask them to allow *.freebsd.org ? They might have the sort of setup that only connects to their network, i.e. an *intranet* so what you're asking might not even be possible with their system, by design and/or by policy. Your example showed that you weren't even able to traceroute. If you can access some sites but not others on the internet, it might be the case that everything is blacklisted (blocked) if it doesn't appear on a whitelist (allowed), so you'd need to ask your network admin to whitelist *.freebsd.org by the way, pkg uses http in a standard configuration. -- J.
