Here's what happens when I ftp to ftp.freebsd.org and try to do 'ls' (or anything other command for that matter)...

At this point it sits there for a minute or so and then either provides the directory listing or disconnects due to inactivity. If it works I get:

Odly, it doesn't actually go into passive mode acording to status:

That's not too bad, I can deal with waiting a few minutes for results, but about half the time I get kicked, which is annoying. My biggest problem is with fetch, it just can't get to anything at all which makes installing ports a real PITA. I'm getting a "Host not found" error but nslookup seems to think my DNS server is working just fine since I can always lookup the hosts I'm trying to connect to. I know the files are there because I can see them with ftp (when it works). A few example fetch runs...

Other, non-FreeBSD, unix boxes on the same network can connect just fine and I can't seem to find any significant configuration differences. Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing. Here's the status output from an HPUX box...
