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 -- Ryan Dimbleby To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
