It looks like I should have been a bit more patient before bothering anyone on this list about my trivial non problem. It turns out that the reason the http fetches were timing out was because of a misconfiguration of the Makefile of the port I was trying to install. The Makefile had these listed as the master sites for the distfile: MASTER_SITES= http://caraldi.com/jbq/numlockx/ \ http://dforce.sh.cvut.cz/~seli/en/numlockx/ after a bit of snooping, the distfile is actually in: http://caraldi.com/jbq/ports/numlockx A manual fetch of this url completed successfully. %fetch http://caraldi.com/jbq/ports/numlockx/numlockx-1.0.tar.gz Receiving numlockx-1.0.tar.gz (34936 bytes): 100% 34936 bytes transferred in 3.2 seconds (10.62 kBps) Changing the Makefile in /usr/ports/x11/numlockx to reflect that valid url causes the port to install successfully.

Can you ping or traceroute to the host ? If the site seems running, try with "FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=-vv" and see what the "real" complaints are meant. horio shoichi ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Set HTTP_PROXY to its address then. If you want to change the timeout value, use -T with fetch. > -T seconds Set timeout value to seconds.

If you want to make the change permanent, put the appropriate FETCH_CMD in your /etc/make.conf (e.g FETCH_CMD=/usr/bin/fetch -T 5). > I have done digging via man fetch.
