Hello, I'm installing freebsd or any linux for the first time. I have an idea of what I'm doing. Because I had trouble with my cdrom, I decided to ftp, also ensuring that I get the latest release. I went through all the setup with the floppies, up to the point where I have to configure network settings. This is where the problem lies. I'm on the page "2.7 Choosing Your Installation Media". The next page talks about post installation. Theres not enough information for what I'm trying to do. I'm on a home network, so I have access to info like the ip assinged to me by my isp, the gateway ip, and the internal network ip, but I can't seem to get the settings on my pc to work. It doesn't connect, although the router sees that the pc is connected to it. The fields I see on the screen are: Host, Domain, IPv4 Gateway, Name Server, IPv4 Address, Netmask, Extra options to ifconfig. Could you tell me what values if any should I set these fields to? Also, I'm in New York, NY., which server would be the best to choose?
