Date: Mon, 15 Jul 1996 13:02:28 -0400 From: Jon Mah Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk To Whom It May Concern: I have attempted FTP install on 2.1.5-RELEASE, and it has not worked for me. Every time I try, it begins an FTP connection, and then mid-connection, it stops, the connection drops, and my machine becomes non-pingable. This happens every time, and is site independent. I have tried it on ftp.freebsd.org, ftp2.freebsd.org, ftp3.freebsd.org, and a host on the local network with a mirror. I have successfully done FTP installs of 2.1 and 2.0 in the past, and I would appreciate any help as soon as possible regarding this. I am running a Pentium 60 with 32 MB of RAM, a 1.2 Gig HD and 540 MB HD (both on wdc0) and a 3com 3c509 ISA Ethernet card (ep0). All the hardware is recognized correctly. Again, any help that can be offered as soon as possible would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Jon Mah (jamah@cs.rpi.edu)
