I have installed FreeBSD 8.0-Release and the following error is what I get when I try to install a package through pkg_add:
I am able to connect to the internet and otherwise browse the web, but pkg_add always has trouble resolving the server. Is there any further configuration required? The handbook says something about setting the PACKAGESITE environment variable, but surely it should be able to fetch from the default server?
Code:
harishankar# pkg_add -r firefox
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.0-release/Latest/firefox.tbz: No route to host
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.0-release/Latest/firefox.tbz' by URL
