Hi, I wonder if someone could give me some advice. I tried to install FreeBSD last night over the internet via a PPP link. I went through the entire process, entered all the right IP addresses (the ones which I always use with PPP and which work fine), logged in using the term program, queried it and found that it seemed to think it had a good PPP link up, then tried to proceed and every time installation claimed it couldn't resolve the addresses for various FTP sites I tried. Thing is, it returned instantly with the 'not found' message, and careful observation of the modem lights showed no activity before it said it couldn't resolve the addresses. So I suspect it wasn't actually sending out the DNS request properly. What should I try next to get this to work? Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks. (P.S., please reply via Email) Raphael Laderman
