 If this workaround does not clear the problem for you, please refer to the [http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users users mailing list] with as much information as possible.
 
 Be sure you have the latest MacPorts before removing `portuninstall.tcl`. I had the same problem that I couldn't uninstall ports and so I first ran a `sudo port selfupdate` to get the latest version of MacPorts and removed the tcl file afterwards. But when running `sudo port -f selfupdate` it gave me this error message: `Failed to initialize ports system, couldn't read file "/opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/port1.0/portuninstall.tcl": no such file or directory` and stopped working.
+
+=== When trying to selfupdate, I get the error:  failed to connect to rsync.macports.org: Connection refused (61) ===
+
+Some firewalls, such as PeerGuardian, block connections to certain corporate IP addresses as a way to prevent software from "phoning home" and violating your privacy. Our main rsync server is hosted by Apple Inc. Self updating requires an rsync connection to download files, but this will be blocked. In order to work around this, you need to temporarily disable or white-list rsync.macports.org.  Another alternative is to use [wiki:Mirrors another mirror] that is not hosted by Apple. 
+
+The black list entry is all of Apple Inc's subnet, which is 17.0.0.0/8, in case you want to find it.  PeerGuardian will filter your network connections even if it is not actively running as an application.
