Hi!

Ah, now I understand the problem. Thank you ;).

- Yes, I have to use a network, which prohibits to use port 873. I  
have to use a proxy server to connect to those services, which  
require this port, for example. Do you know how to configure MacPorts  
to connect via a proxy? I didn't find any ways to configure it.

- And no, it is not the firewall-configuration. I deactivated it to  
test it. The problem is the network itself.
