Hi,

I'm attempting to install FreeBSD via FTP. Everything seems to be =
correct until when I needed to configure ppp0 as a result of choosing =
the installation method (via FTP) . The screen reached has various =
fields, which includes

Host        // for this i wrote "localhost"
Domain   // wrote "localdomain.com"
IPv4 Gateway   // left blank
NameServer    // inserted the primary DNS  =20
IPv4 address    // left blank

I've spoken to my ISP and they informed me that IP addresses were =
dynamically assigned.=20

After typing "dial" at the ppp prompt and waiting for about half a min I =
get a disconnected message of some sort. When I try to continue the =
installation process it says it cant perform the domain name translation =
or to that effect and was unable to open the ftp site.

Could you advise me where I went wrong??If you require further details =
of what I have tried so far, please feel to email me.

Many thanks
Le
