I do have ipfw setup and running. It is possible that it is a config issue with ipfw, but I am doubtful. The kernel does not have inet6 (ip6) compiled in and occasionally I see the ftp client resolving ip6 addresses which I find odd. It often does this resolving ftp.freebsd.org which I think is hosted at ISC. I've tried ipfw disable firewall and kldunload'ing the ipfw extension in the kernel. I can connect to ftp sites using firefox in x11 and from Linux & windows on the same box with the same ip defined. My cable modem router has this system setup as the dmz. I looked at the fetch man page and it has an environment variable (man 3 fetch) FTP_PASSIVE_MODE. I've toggled this to yes and no in the environment with no effect.
Also, I happen to have ip_portrange_first and ip_portrange_last set in /etc/rc.conf to 4000 and 8000 respectively. The system has a custom built kernel with SMP enabled as I have a dual xeon w/ htt disabled.
I am at a loss why this is not working. Since I got the cable modem, I've noticed that pasv mode connections are flaky and i usually have to switch to port in windows ftp apps especially if the server on the other end is behind a firewall. I've tried toying with command line flags to ftp also. Sometimes -4 -A -a will get me into some ftp servers command line.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! I'm no longer subscribed to questions, so please CC me! Thanks.
