CVSUP won't get out... PCBSD 1.11

[Ben Hacker Jr]

I recently (2-3 days) installed PCBSD1.11 from CD. Everything came up OK. I am writing this from Konqueror.

I usually have a number of programs I install from ports once PCBSD is running but I cannot get CVSUP to run for some reason.

I have tried changing the cvsup server. I tried 6,11,13(default). My firewall does not see this machine trying to go out to CVSUP in the logs.

%uname -a
FreeBSD wstation3.family.hom 6.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p2 #0: Fri Jun 16 09:21:34 PDT 2006 root@PCBSD.localhost:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PCBSDv1.11 i386

. . .

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Also...

KDE Menu / Computer / PC-BSD Settings / System

Tasks Tab / (Portsnap)Fetch Ports

... says it "finished" but afterwards I have no /usr/ports so it fails too.

A few Q's from this Newb.

What is your networking card, does it show in ifconfig?

Does konqueror display web pages?

Is any internet funcationality working?

Yes, I am on the machine in question and I am running Konqueror to reply to your post.

I just ssh'ed to my FreeBSD Server and ran CVSUP. It was successful and is downloading now. I can also see the connection in the logs on my firewall.

strben@hackserver$ uname -a
FreeBSD hackserver.family.hom 6.0-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p7 #5: Thu May 11 07:35:47 EDT 2006 strben@hackserver.family.hom:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HACK06 i386

From the PC-BSD machine it is as though CVSUP is being blocked by a firewall or something... Did they put that in and not tell anyone?

Problem solved...

After the installation... I needed a static IP and in the process I accidentally set my default Router to my own IP address.

Since I have a Proxy Server configured in my browser, the browser was "seemingly" able to get to the Web. Actually it was just talking to the Proxy Server and the Proxy server was doing all the heavy lifting.

[When I removed the Proxy configuration I noticed that the Router Logs still showed NO ACCESS attempts from this workstation.]

I have corrected the Default Router entry and Portsnap is working fine now. I am UP again!

(Sorry for clutering the forum...)

Add to /etc/csh.cshrc fail:

setenv HTTP_PROXY http://your.proxy.box:3128

Now all your programs include cvsup can use proxy.
