I'm fairly certain that when adding a package from the FTP servers, you need to specify enough info for the pkg_add module to unambiguously request the right package -- i.e., version information in this case.
What you've described hasn't convinced me that you're unable to "connect to the internet" -- have you tried pinging a known address, or resolving a hostname? Those are good indicators of where your problems lie. As to downloading packages, I usually don't bother setting package path -- just pick a fast mirror, download a copy of its packages directory for your architecture and version, and grab links off of that page -- "sudo pkg_add -v ftp://<blahblah>/pkg-version.tgz" will take care of the details for you Marti On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 11:51 AM, Mnlcrrsc <rayl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi.
