portsnap and csup both failed

This is first time I'm facing such a problem after fresh install of 8.0-beta2:
Code: 
#portsnap fetch
Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors...none found
Fetching public key from portsnap.FreeBSD.org...failed
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

#csup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
Parsing supfile to cvsup.FreeBSD.org
Name lookup failure for cvsup.FreeBSD.org host name nor
sername provided, or not known.
Will retry at...

The machine is connected (just installed base, kernel etc from ftp). Also it runs all the versions of FreeBSD since 6.0.

Does somebody know what this all is about?
 
It seems a dns or a networking problem.
Can you reach other sites for the same box?
What is the output of ifconfig?
 
It's new min install I don't know how to connect with no familiar tools.
Last boot up lines:
Code: 
waiting for 30 sec for the default route interface: .de0:
 
enabling 10baseT port

ifconfig:
Code: 
de0: flags=8843 <UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
       ether xxxxxxxxxx
       media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
       status: active
lo0: flags=8049 <UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
       options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
       inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
       inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
       inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xf000000

I used to install problem free all the releases since 6.0 except 7.2 on that machine. I even rebuilt world and kernel a few times.
 
Try adding something like ifconfig_de0="DHCP" to /etc/rc.conf and reboot or setup your NIC properly.
 
ifconfig_de0="DHCP" is listed in my /etc/rc.conf (+one more entry: my host)
The NIC was set up long ago and worked without problem. I only never seen the last 2 lines in boot up screen.
I tried to ping google.com - not resolved.
Between cable modem and the box I have Belkin wifi router though it was long enough. The box is connected by cable. I can serf internet from Debian installed on the same box.
I reinstalled everything from scratch: I can download base, kernel... with sysinstall but then portsnap fails.
Can it be my ISP's job somehow? Or some black list @ freebsd.org?
 
And what is in the /etc/resolv.conf of the Debian installation on that box? Is 192.168.2.1 your cable modem or something?
 
exactly the same + search DOSSGI
Suse has the same as Debian:

domain DOSSGI
search DOSSGI
nameserver 192.168.2.1

Probably yes, it's the modem, I see that all the time.
 
Some more info. This machine is about 7 y.o.: Asus P4S333c with SiS chip, P4 2.4GHz, DDR 768MB, GeForce3 Ti200, 2 PATA HDDs.
Its my experimental box. It ran perfectly all 6.0-7.0 range (including betas and prereleases) and the last one I could install with sysinstall was 7.0. Then something happened and it refused to run sysinstall higher than 6.4 (segmentation fault) So I managed to install with 6.4 CD and then change in "Options" 6.4 to whatever. I did same now but 8.0-b2 doesn't go online after install. Sysinstall from HDD led to "panic".
Assuming faulty hardware I just installed 6.4 and voila - portsnap grabbed ports like crazy.
Is my hardware not compatible with newer versions of FreeBSD?
I used to read people have even older stuff. What's wrong? Maybe SiS chip?
I really have no idea...
Update. Under 7.2 portsnap and csup works perfectly too. 8.0-BETA2 release is the problem.
 
Code: 
# dhclient de0
DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.2.1
bound to 192.168.2.3 -- renewal in 897644500 seconds
 
This is on 7-stable and I already enjoy kde4.3.0 built in 10 min from packages. This machine is just great.
So I gave up and posted the problem in development section.
But the numbers were the same (port don't remember).
How do you know btw?:)
 
I meant how did you know it's not from 8?
Otherwise why did you ask that?
In that my post I also explained (and complained:) about inability to register to that list.
 
Really? Does my post look like I'm working on 7.2 and I'd like to join -current mailing list just for fun?
Well...English is crazy language:)
When hardware problems take place nobody helps. If no such problems (how to prove?) hope doesn't die.
