Hi Guys,

thks for help.

ftp -4 -p ftp.netbsd.org makes no difference.   ( Matthias )
IPv6 is not configured ( Tim )

What kind of firewall and internet connection is it? ( Manuel )

I don't know. I'll have to ask the sysadmins here.
Let you know if I can find out.

ftp mystery continues...   sigh...

but thanks for help!:)

Paul.
