Is your router between the FTP server and the FTP client? Is the router performing NAT and/or firewall duty? If so, that could be the cause of your problem, *if* Knoppix is using PASV (passive mode FTP) while Anaconda is using PORT (active mode FTP), *and* the router isn't fully aware of FTP's dual TCP connections. > My current theory is that the installer can't take an IP > address as the server "name". It has been years since I've done a Red Hat install via FTP, but back in the RHL 6.x days, a numeric IP address worked. The Google search http://www.google.com/search?q=fedora+install+ftp+%22ip+address%22 finds plenty of pages that suggest you can use a numeric IP address with current Fedora Core. > Or (most likely) am I missing something obvious? If it truly was obvious, we wouldn't be missing it. Don't confuse "simple" with "obvious". :) -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
