Put '-c' on the Boot: prompt and make sure the settings are correct for your ethernet card. 2) YOu did not enter the correct information into the ifconfig dialog box. Check your values and try again. 3) Can another computer on the same net reach ftp.freebsd.org while you are installing? Your net link may have gone down or may be two slow. Did you try a different mirror? Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
