Hi
My old trusty FreeBSD server just died and naturally that happened days
before the new machine arrived - fortunately I did not lose too much data -
however I did lose my settings and that my problem
Using a ADSL router with NAT and firewall settings (Open on http/https and
outgoings) there was some setting I used to get fetch http://{whatever};; to
work and I cannot remember what it was - The firewall settings has not
changed - but every time I trying to get anything using fetch
http://{bla,bla};; nothing come over - connection is fine
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance (PS. I am sure its trivial) - I just cannot remember what
it was

This question is probably better suited for the questions@ list.

Lets give it a try... ;-)
Check the MTU size on your new machine with the MTU set on your
firewall/DSL router. I remember that I had a similar problem years
ago: The ppp-Device connecting to my ISP used a different MTU from my
LAN, so that big packets where dropped when they were received. But
the connection to the target host was opened, and small files (e.g.
index.html on some sites) were transferred successfully.

Thanks for the help - it really turned out to be silly - My ADSL router does
not like the RFC 1323 TCP Extensions - I knew it was a simple config questions
- Thanks for the answers everybody

By connection is fine you mean you can resolve domain names, ping other
hosts, establish other types of connections, etc?

Are you referring to the FTP_PASSIVE_MODE environment variable? See
man 3 fetch
