It has a connection to the internet through the local network. Unfortunately it is behind a firewall and I am having significant difficulties. When I check the 2nd (alt-F2) virtual terminal I see the following: ... DEBUG: Found DNS entry for ftp.FreeBSD.org successfully... DEBUG: Shutdown called for network device de0 writing to routing socket: No such process Delete net default : not in table ... network not reachable. the machine does not have a CD-ROM drive and time is an issue (or I would just order the walnut creek CD and find a CD-ROM drive to use). What are my options at this point? I don't understand NFS??? All other machines on network are MS Windows NT/95. Can I download the files to another machine and use the LAN??? or can I do something differently and use FTP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
