You might also want to check /etc/resolv.conf. If you are just using wget to download one file try the FreeBSD command "fetch" which is similar for single files Rgds Rus -- www: http://www.65535.net | Hosting - Shell Accounts MSNM: support@65535.net | Virtual Servers from just $15/mo e: rghf@65535.net | Community: http://www.65535.org t: +44 (0) 7092016595 | 10% Donation on every FreeBSD product
