Hi,

I'm trying to install FBSD over ADSL at home.

The connection is NAT'd which means all the internal addresses are on
192.168.x. range. :(

After choosing the FTP site and asking the system to use DHCP it can't
detect the settings from the router. This takes me to a blank ifconfig screen.

I tried adding the settings as instucted by my ISP.

Gateway: 192.168.254.254
name server: 192.168.254.254
IP: 192.168.254.3 (NT box had previously used this address.)
mask: 255.255.255.0

Then the look up timed out as it could not resolve ftp.uk.freebsd.org.

I've looked all over the website but can't find anything that can help - most
install help files seem to be CDROM based.

I've checked to see if Ethernet (3Com) has been detected and it says it
has.

Any suggestions?

tia
