It only ever makes outgoing connections from a client. 99.9% of all routers/firewalls will honour that mode with no probems, unless it's been specifically blocked by an admin type somewhere. In the F'BSD install/update settings/dialogs etc, always select the option to use FTP from behind a firewall or router, or "Firewall Friendly" mode. That will invoke Passive mode transfers. It's the one thing I can do reliably with FreeBSD, no need to mess with router/firewall permissions etc. That only needs doing if you want to run a server that is reachable from outside your LAN. That in turn, opens a whole oil drum load (i.e. a big can of worms!) of potential security issues Take care.

Your firewall may be interfering with the connection. You may want to read the handbook section on FTP installs (the grey box at the bottom of the page): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-media.html You can determine if you are having a firewall problem specific to FTP by using an HTTP proxy install (if it works, you need to change your firewall rules). A convenient list of free and open http proxies is available here: http://www.xroxy.com/proxylist.htm Just narrow the list down to http proxies that are near you (US, I assume) then arrange them in order of ascending latency (there is a drop down menu for this). The top few should work great for you. I have found that going a step further will ensure using the fastest proxy. Just install netselect from the ports collection: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/net/netselect/pkg-descr http://apenwarr.ca/netselect/ then feed the top 10 proxies from xroxy to netselect and use the one it selects as fastest. All of this can be scripted using wget to scrape the data from xroxy when you need it, since free and open proxies disappear faster than fart in a fan factory. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Alt+F4 will take you to the 'emergency holographic shell' where you should[*] be able to edit the /etc/resolv.conf file used during installation.

RE: FTP installation through a NAT on a DSL connection
Thanks for the suggestion. In this case, I don't think this is the problem. I took a look at the debugging messages and I see the installation program: Found ftp2.freebsd.org logged me in changed working directories to the 4.7-RELEASE then: Sending PASV Entering Passive Mode (130,94,149,162,215,188) Sending: RETR bin/bin.inf Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'bin/bin.inf' (4255 bytes) DEBUG: Parsing atributes file for distribution bin Then I get an error message "Cannont parse information file for the bin distribuiton: I/O error. Please verify that your media is valid and try again. So, it seems that I'm able to log in to the FTP server, change directories, enter passive mode and request the bin.inf file. All those activities don't take much in the way of packet size. But the bin.inf is 4255 bytes so the packets will have to be broken down. As I said in my original message, I think the problem is my MTU setting. Does anyone know how to change the Max MTU size in the Network Configuration screen. It seems like I would be able to put a command in the options box. I experimented with this but I guess I'm not getting the syntax right. I've had to set the Max MTU on my Windows machine to 1330 so it makes sense that I would have to do the same on freebsd. Thanks for the help.

You're one step closer. When doing network configuration, make sure you list a valid and real DNS server. Try setting it up to use the DNS at your ISP, or the winroute if it provides DNS.

RE: FTP installation through a NAT on a DSL connection
Thanks so much for the suggestion. When I use passive mode I get an error message "Could not open ftp connection to ftp3.freebsd.org. Service not available, closing control connection." When I hit OK another error message comes up "unable to initialize selected media. Would you like to adjust you media configuration and try again?" When I do that, I go through the network configuration process again, but I get an immediate error message "Cannot resolve host name ftp3.freebsd.org! Are you sure that your name server, gateway and network interface are correctly configured?" I'm using DHCP, and it is pulling the correct IP's for these. Here's the log in my Winroute NAT.

Re: FTP installation from the floppies through ADSL modem with PPPoEor PPTP protocol.
Asker wrote: The modem can be configured to use PPPoE or PPTP protocol for making the connection with my Internet Servise Provider. Well if the modem does PPPoE itself (and preusmably NAT) then you need no speical support from the OS. From its poitn of view you are just conencted via ethernet. If you need the machine to do PPPoE, ppp supports PPPoE. For this to work, though, you need netgraph, which isn't in GENERIC. You will need to make a custom kernel and build your own set of custom floppies. Ok, so in my situation the installation of FreeBSD is impossible. What do you think about changing GENERIC or just the kernel in installation floppies in the future releases of FreeBSD? I think it will be very useful because ADSL (therefore PPPoE protocol) is very frequent method of connecting with Internet Service Provider in our days. Read the other peoples' posts. It seems I was incorrect in my statement. Despite the lack of a set of kernel modules on the floppies, PPPoE is still supported. Randy Pratt posted a link to a doc he wrote on getting PPPoE working within sysinstall. P.S. FTP installation use much less internet traffic than 4 huge ISO files' downloading. Depending on what you're installing, yes. Personally, I prefer to have everything local during an install. I've never liked the idea of connecting to the internet as root, and that's exactly what you do when doing an FTP install.

At least here in Estonia PPPoE seems to be on its way out and the bulk of ISPs providing ADSL use just Ethernet without any PPP. > P.S.

Like you, I don't see any modules on the floppies but they do indeed support PPPoE. I'm not sure how the magic works but I'm assuming that the support is built into the GENERIC kernel. Perhaps one of our kernel gurus could shed a bit more light on this. I have installed both 4.7-R and 5.0-DP1 using the two floppies and PPPoE/FTP. It would be nice if this were a menu option of Sysinstall but very few people have a real need for this method. Typically, those with broadband will download and burn an installation cdrom. My apologies for not being able to answer more definitively. Randy To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

If the necessary netgraph support is not built into the kernel, it will be dynamically loaded by ppp (See handbook section on PPPoE). I have Earthlink and their modems do not have integral PPPoE or NAT but it is possible to connect with Sysinstall and install via FTP. Granted, it is not straightforward since the ethernet device and ppp have to be configured prior to starting the installation. I kept a few notes and dressed them up a little on how to do an FTP install using PPPoE: http://www.treefort.org/~rpratt/pppoe/article.html They could probably use some more work, but they should be usable. Hope this helps the original poster. Randy To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

tis a good reason to use one of the pppoe speaking routers/nat boxes.

Well if the modem does PPPoE itself (and preusmably NAT) then you need no speical support from the OS. From its poitn of view you are just conencted via ethernet. If you need the machine to do PPPoE, ppp supports PPPoE. For this to work, though, you need netgraph, which isn't in GENERIC. You will need to make a custom kernel and build your own set of custom floppies. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
