Well, you shouldn't need to reboot the machine. So long as the thing isn't
mounted, you'll be fine. As for the 'manual' method, it sounds like your
name server isn't digging 'ftp.astron.com'. My nameserver found it fine,
so here's the IP if you want to change it in whatever file it needs to be
changed in:

204.80.150.6

Or, alternately, make sure your DNS settings are properly in place.
Contact your ISP's tech support for this info, and run /stand/sysinstall,
and run through the Network configuration menu from 'Configure'.

Good luck.

Cory.
