Hi there;

I'm having troubles with an FTP installation of FreeBSD UNIX over a =
cable modem;
the cable ISP requires that a NetBIOS name (specified by the ISP) be =
assigned to the computer before access to the network can be gained.

Is there any way that this NetBIOS name can be assigned in the 'extra =
options' section of the Ethernet install setup, or elsewhere in the =
initial setup screens?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Kevin Smyth
