I'm having troubles with an FTP = installation of=20 FreeBSD UNIX over a cable modem;

the cable ISP requires that a NetBIOS = name=20 (specified by the ISP) be assigned to the computer before access to the = network=20 can be gained.

Is there any way that this NetBIOS name = can be=20 assigned in the 'extra options' section of the Ethernet install setup, = or=20 elsewhere in the initial setup screens?

Any help would be greatly = appreciated.

Many thanks,
