I have an ethernet LAN with Win95 workstations. I want to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 to a machine that's hooked to this network. I have downloaded all the files needed (I hope!) and prepared the boot floppy. The FreeBSD files are on a Win95 workstation which has an IP address of 192.168.0.2, in a folder called /pub/FreeBSD. This Win95 workstation is also running a program called FreewayFTP, an FTP server program I got from http://www.tucows.com. I have configured the FTP server to accept anonymous users, and set the IP filter to 0.0.0.0 When I attempt to install FreeBSD and get to the Network Configuration screen I enter the following: Host = next Domain = my.domain Gateway = 0.0.0.0 Name Server = 192.168.0.2 In the Configuration for Interface ed1, I enter: IP Address = 192.168.0.1 Netmask = 255.255.255.0 I have tried other combinations of the above, for example I have changed the Gateway to 192.168.0.2, and left the IP Address in the "Configuration for Interface ed1" blank. The most I have gotten done is to see some kind of error message on the Win95 machine about login. This only happened once. The rest of the time, the FreeBSD program can't login to 192.168.0.2. Can anyone offer advice here? Is there some FTP Server program that anyone can recommend that has worked? Please note that I have another hard drive which already has FreeBSD 2.2.5 up and running well. The network cards and cables in my system have communicated with this hardware just a few moments ago. So I think we can rule out hardware.
