Subject: problems with FTP install in Release 2.1.0
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org

Hello,

        I want to install FreeBSD Release 2.1.0 with the FTP install
option, but when the program try to access the ftp server, i get a
very nice dialog box saying:

Couldn't open FTP connection to X.X.X.X

where X.X.X.X is the IP address of the FTP server.
And i'm taken back to the main menu.

I like very much when error messages are full of details saying what the
problem is :-)

There are no details about it in the debug window (VT2)
(but i can see: DEBUG: Network initialized succesfully)



I've tried both the nearest FreeBSD Mirror(ftp.ibp.fr) , and a local machine
where i had copied the whole distribution.

There are no hardware problem, because i had freebsd (2.0) on this computer
with the same configuration before.

My hardware config is: 486DX2-66 ram 16Mb / 420Mb IDE HD / Two NE2000

Any idea about this problem ?
What can i do?


Thanks,


        Eric Berenguier
