OK, let's go: ~ $ sudo su - # export http_proxy=http://192.168.178.23:3128 # export ftp_proxy=http://192.168.178.23:3128 # pkg_add -ui Couldn't find updates for GraphicsMagick-1.3.20, ImageMagick-6.7.7.7p8, OpenEXR-1.6.1p2, R-3.1.2, Xaw3d-1.5p2, ... [ all the other packages ] Nope - this did not do the trick... (at least the connect was not lost). Best, STEFAN
