Subject:   Can't do an ftp install

I'm trying to do an FTP install of 4.2-release.  I get past the DHCP
configurations, and then it hangs on "looking up host ftp.freebsd.org."  I
can ping the (soon-to-be) FreeBSD box that I'm installing on (using the IP
information retrieved from the DHCP server).  I can also ftp to
ftp.freebsd.org from another client (winnt) on the same LAN segment as the
(potential) FreeBSD box.  But the FreeBSD box-to-be can't seem to see
ftp.freebsd.org (or ftp2.freebsd.org or ftp5.freebsd.org).

Any ideas what's going on?  The NIC must be working, since I can get the
client address from the DHCP server.  The router is working fine, since I
can ftp to ftp.freebsd.org from other clients on the same switch.  I'm
stumped.
