Hi, I'm trying to install BSD v2.2.5 via FTP on a '486 machine. I have a small netowrk consisting of 2 pentiums, a '486, SMC 8416 NICs, and a 4-port hub. The link lights are all lit so I'm pretty sure the physical layer is ok. I can ping from the windows machines to each other, but the BSD kernel can't find the FTP server on installation. I'm using Bison FTP server (shareware v 3.5) on one of the pentium's CDROM, drive e:\ as the source. I can verify that the Bison FTP server is working by logging in from the other pentium. I'm able to view files, gets, puts, etc. to/from the FTP server. When I try to install BSD using FTP, I get an error message on the '486 - "couldn't open FTP connction to 192.168.1.110: ....Service not available" I can see the activity lights on the hub flicker occasionally, showing the retries, but the connection log doesn't show a connection attempt from the BSD machine. I've tried both anonymous logins and user+password logins, both with the same result. I used the "makeflp" utility on the CD to create a bootable floppy. Is there something I need to include on this kernel to enable FTP? Am I missing something on the FTP login (ftp://192.168.1.110) (I know this ip address is for internal use only, and I disable it when logging on the the internet). I feel pretty confident that the FTP server is configured properly, but if you have any suggestions there, it would be appreciated, too. Thanks in advance for you help sincerely jeff herrin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
