In general you will do better to do a new install from a bootable CD.
But here is what you need to know:
"host" is whatever you want your server's host name to be. This doesn't
really matter as you will be on a private LAN.
"domain" again this doesn't matter as you will be on a private LAN
"IPv4 gateway" your routers IP address, 192.168.0.1
"domain server" your ISP Name server for DNS name resolution.

Hi FreeBSD folks,
I'm a UNIX user for some time but now I'm trying to install my first
FreeBSD system
over the internet. I got along with the HW and pre-installation issues
easily, the disk space
is allocated, I know what to install. But I can't connect for download.
I'd like to ask for
your help.
On this handbook page
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-media.html
I arrive at figure Figure 2-27. Set Network Configuration for ed0. See page
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-post.html
I don't know what to put in "host", "domain", "IPv4 gateway" and "domain
server".
My ISP is German Telekom.
I'm using a CompuShack gateway/4-port switch
Connecting to my 3-COMs RJ45 jack
My computer is 192.168.0.4
The local gateway is 192.168.0.1
The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
The gateway's internet address changes as it is assigned when connecting.
Who's host name has to be used ?
I'm logging into Telekom as [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Is "t-online.de"
the required domain ?
The installation probes IP numbers like 217.237.151.142 for the name
server. Is that what's needed ?
I would very much appreciate your help. I also won't need more help :-)
Regards,
Manfred
