I have a computer that I have had Freebsd on previously. I recently re-installed 5.1-release on it as I was going to make it a firewall. Well, I pulled one of the nic out, and have been trying to do a full install from ftp.
So, I boot using the (2) floppies. Go through the standard install (blow away partition, create, etc). When I get to the media source and choose FTP, then selected the default ftp.freebsd.org. I tries, and comes back to the media selection screen. I have tried (last night) all the USA ftp servers with the same result. Tried a different NIC. Same result. Tried a different port on my switch. Same result. I can see it talking as the activity lights are blinking. I am configuring the NIC with a static internal IP of 192.168.1.77 (my internal LAN uses 192.168.1.X). I set the gateway IP to my gateway (192.168.1.75). All my machines can see the internet and each other (except this box I'm working on). Any ideas on the culprit ? thanks, Darryl _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
