This is EXACTLY what I am finding installing 3.2 using a variety of hardware via ftp viz... Set up hardware OK, connect to ftp server - works fine - then hangs at 1024K transferred ! Funny enough, the smallest box I have - 486/25 8Mb 2*130Mb drives, installed perfectly, but using the same network card in another (larger) box just gives the same old hang... Transferring one of the network cards that failed (?) to the 'working' box, I find that 'most' IP is OK, ping, telnet etc. all OK BUT ftp either in or out hangs at the 1024K barrier, I (think I...) have eliminated network cards, HDD's, CPU's memory etc. on the grounds that subsequent installs of Linux (either Slackware4.0 or RedHat) both pick up all the hardware AND use the network card OK. One answer was to try a different ftp server, in my case, I have downloaded to my Win95 box to minimise connect time, so just run either G6 or Netftpd, both/either of which are OK with different apps, both of which have been used succesfully for the FreeBSD load onto my base system I have tried different IRQ/membase etc to no effect, I am convinced now that another process is causing this (routed ???) if so, how do I/we get round this, I really would like to have a 'real' FreeBSD box running as a 'network services' server.
