I am having problems with the FTP install on FreeBSD 2.1.0. After dialing, connecting, and logging in to my provider, I switch back to the installation program, hit ENTER, and a message similar to "attempting to resolve ftp.freebsd.org" appears. I put the correct nameserver IP address in the nameserver box on the PPP setup screen. For host name I use: infohwy.com (I tried dquinn but, the installation forced it to dquinn.infohwy.com) For domain name I use: infohwy.com Here is my login session log: -------------------------- START BSDI BSD/386 1.1 (shamrock.infohwy.com) (tty06) login:dquinn dquinn Password:<password deleted to protect the innocent> No home directory /usr/dquinn!

I even tried using the URL addressing ftp://192... etc. I get a "cannot connect" message. I REALLY like the idea of an FTP install, but, I just cannot seem to get the kinks worked out. Any help would be appreaciated. Thanks! dquinn@infohwy.com
