First of all I am a complete newbie to FreeBSD(i have explored with
linux a little)
I read through everything i could find and am stumped. Here's the
problem
I am installing 2.2.6
Everything works fine untill i go to select the media type.
I choose FTP(i have tried it with the FTP for firewalls thingie to just
to be safe....)
I configure all the fields to the best of my ability.(the host name is
my only problem...wasn't quite sure what to put there, but that
shouldn't make a diffrence)
When i get out of that screen i hit ALT-F3 to go the modem program.
I type in term
I connect to my ISP via ATDT...
I put in my User name and password.
At this point the program seems to come out of terminal mode and says
"packet mode"
I hit ALT-F1 and then hit enter.
It says it can't resolve the ip from the name server. Usualy around
this point the modem disconnects. If i don't hit ALT-F1 where i did
before, and just wait around 10 seconds, the modem also diconnects.
I have tried everything i can think of. If anyone has any ideas, please
help.
Thanks.
mike.
