Are you using a proxy server or natd or something else? If you're using natd, do make sure that you're routing it to the right NIC (Your external NIC to your ISP should be in the natd_interface section at /etc/rc.conf) If that's not the case, I can't really think of something else. You're saying that 5.2.1 is not able to locate your harddrive at all? And you just have a simple ATA controller with nothing else? It should be working just fine then. Perhaps that your installation media was bad or there is a hardware problem with your machine. I never seen 5.2.1 not being able to detect a proper working IDE drive. Cheers, Jorn
