no usr/ports directory ?

[newNas]

Hello,

I'm a newbe on FreeBSD and FreeNas.
after FreeNas installation, I would like to install some programms like vim or others...
But there is not any "ports" directory in /usr
Something I 've misunderstood ?

can someone help me ?
Thanks.

I Installed the jail but still not able to use "pkg_add": the reason seems to be I cannot reach ftp.freebsd.org.
The only thing I can ping from the plugin jail is the freeBSD host :
-> the gateway I use to go outside is 192.168.1.1
-> FreeNas is 192.168.1.60
-> the plugin jail is 192.168.1.61

I can reach whatever I want from .60
( I checked security.jail.allow_raw_sockets is 1 )
I can ping .60 from the jail
when trying to ping 192.168.1.1 from the jail, after a while I get the message:
"ping: sendto: Host is down"
...

(information : I installed FreeNas on a VMWare VM - ESXi 5, but not an issue from the main FreeNas host (.60) ...)

Have you got an other good idea?
Thanks

Did you enable promiscuous mode (network settings) in ESXi?

That's it.
I don't know what promiscuous mode is exactly but it was the problem... I should learn more about that.:)
Thank you for help
