Old linux user now moving gradually to freebsd 5.2.1, at office we have a lan 1) with an http proxy for which authentication via userid & passwd is needed AND 2) ftp is blocked, not permitted.
I want to use the ports and compile my programs. I have already tried to set the http proxy (as under linux, by the way!) issuing: env HTTP_PROXY="http://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080" to no avail; freebsd complains endlessly that ............................... fetch: ftp://............: Host not found ............................. as if it cannot resolve the ftp site (which in turn is blocked) even though I have the nameserver under /etc/resolv.conf Could you please tell me in a straightforward manner what **exactly** should I do for both 1) and 2)? Is there any alternative way of getting the source ports using an http connection (I cannot buy the CDs and similkar things)?
