i installed FreeBSD on webops server nearby my desk, of cause it is running on vmware whit NAT network. i tried to cvsup for serveral times last week but no effects. i thought it must some wrong with my network settings in vmware, so i changed some of them and try again today but, still not work. i use setenv to set http and ftp proxy, and connect to cvsup.cn.freebsd.org to upgrade, it cannot connect to server. iam crazy…
from google, i found this:
You can run cvsup through NAT traversal, if you have an unroutable
IP, but your network must allow port 5999/tcp to pass through. If
you only have HTTP access via a proxy server, your network has
admirable security, but you will not be able to use cvsup.
somebody meets the same problem as mine, but unfortunately, my corp’s proxy only enable HTTP proxy at port 80. so…damn it!
but the comment is posted about 3years ago, maybe there is a way to solve my question..maybe not. iam not sure, and google dont know either…if i cannot use cvsup vir HTTP proxy at port 80, i am afraid i must say goodbye to FreeBSD at corp..
on the same way, ubuntu do it much better than freebsd, apt-get is so cool!!
