pkg_add problems

I am having trouble using pkg_add -r <some package>. I
keep getting
the following error.
---------------------------------------
p0069# pkg_add -r bash
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-re
lease/Latest/bash.tbz:
Network is unreachable
pkg_add: unable to fetch
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-r
elease/Latest/bash.tbz'
by URL
p0069#
---------------------

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but
- I have rebuilt the kernel successfully
---------------------
p0069# uname -a
FreeBSD p0069.bm.local 6.1-RELEASE-p12 FreeBSD
6.1-RELEASE-p12 #0: Thu
Feb  8 13:55:26 EST 2007
xxxxp0069.bm.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WEBSERVER  i386
--------------------
- And there is no ports tree installed.. ie /usr/ports does
not exist.
- I can ping ftp.freebsd.org
- I can also ftp>open ftp.freebsd.org

Any thoughts on trouble shooting this would be appreciated.

Thanks

The file does or doesn't exist? (I've not checked, we'll
leave it in 
your court)

Network troubleshooting...?

So, some network troubleshooting is done.  Can you actually
download 
anything from the server, though?  FTP runs on two
"channels", and needs
to connect to a CONTROL port and a DATA port.  Possible that
CONTROL is 
open and DATA is blocked?

Those are mine.  Good luck!

Perhaps verbose output (-v argument) might yield a clue:
pkg_add -rv some_pkg

Are you behind a firewall? You might try using passive mode
ftp. See
pkg_add(1)

there is no such package bash. there's only
bash-someversionofbashport

for example bash-3.1.16

get a look at 
tp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-rel
ease/Latest/ 
to see what version of bash is available

Au contraire:

[rootsrv2]/ $ pkg_add -r bash
Fetching
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-re
lease/Latest/bash.tbz...
Done. pkg_add: package 'bash-3.1.17' or its older version
already installed

[rootsrv2]/ $ uname -v
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Sun Jan 28 15:04:56 CST 2007

Thanks everyone. The issue seems to be related to IPF, which
I am
trying to sort out. Basically when ipf is enabled, the
connectivity
fails, although my pass out rule for ftp includes ports 20
& 21. With
ipf -D disabled, no problems. I'll probably post to a new
thread after
I've tried some more first.

Thanks again.
