Did you try to download the ports by hand? That would help to make
sure you are allowed to connect.

When you are trying to make a port you should see something like:


banyan<on>: make
=> atk-1.10.3.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/gnome2.
=> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ftp.gnome.org/sources/atk/1.10/.

Just try to fetch that URL:

fetch ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ftp.gnome.org/sources/atk/1.10/

What is the error message? Maybe you have forgotten to configure a
proxy or something?
