I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a laptop using FTP. The laptop is an
NEC Versa P75. The modem I am using is an external Zoom 33.6, which
works pretty well with a wintel box. I have the most recent boot disks,
and am using the novice installation. I am able to connect to my ISP
through the terminal program, but the machine fails to resolve whatever
FTP site I am selecting. I am assuming that this is because I am not
correctly filling in the network information section. Do you think you
could tell me what I ought to be putting into these fields? In the host
name, I have just been putting in something like "jserf.flash.net" or
just "jserf" In the domain name I have been typing "flash.net" In the
gateway, I have no clue what to type. I have tried leaving it blank, and
also typing in the DNS addy. In the name server, I am typing 209.30.0.9,
FlashNet's primary DNS server. I'm not sure about the other fields. I
apologize asking you such simple questions; I am very new to BSD. I work
here at FlashNet, so if you need any more information, please feel free
to ask, and I'm sure I can get it somehow. Thanks in advance for any
assistance you can provide!
