Can't install Xorg.

C

Hello, I jus tattempted to install FreeBSD for the first time, I have no experience at all with BSD so excuse my ignorance. Immediatly after installing FreeBSD I tried to install Xorg, so I did what the Handbook told me to do as root:
Code: 
cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
make install clean
But it dosn't work, it says:
Code: 
port manually into usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again
error code 1

stop in /usr/ports/graphics/dri.
error code 1

stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg
So I tried this:

# portsnap fetch

and it gave me:
Code: 
looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors.....none found
fetching public key from portsnap.freebsd.org...failed
no mirrors remaining giving up
I also tried:

# portsnap fetch extract

but got the same result, can anyone help me with this? :)
 
What version of FreeBSD? Is it on a real system or a virtual machine?

Before portsnap(8) can work, the network connection has to be set up. Please show the output of
% ifconfig
 
It's 9.0 and it's on a real system, I'm sorry but there is just so much that comes out there's no way I can type all that, could you tell me which parts you need to know, or maybe I should take a picture?


There is one part that says

media: ethernet autoselect
status: active
 
"Active" just means the cable is connected. A disconnected port would say "no carrier".

re0 is the important interface here. Notice how it doesn't have an IPv4 address.

# dhclient re0

Then try portsnap again. To make that permanent, add it to /etc/rc.conf:
Code: 
ifconfig_re0="SYNCDHCP"
