Hi All, I've been trying to use sysinstall to get ports for my FreeBSD 4.2 system. I have to go through a Wingate HTTP proxy server to do this. I can access the site easily through the proxy with my web browser, but not from sysinstall. When sysinstall prompts me for the IP (or domain name) and port of the proxy, I give it the correct values (192.168.0.64:81). When I check the Wingate gatekeeper, it shows an ftp URL connection to the site (ftp://ftp.ie.freebsd.ord/pub/...). Sysinstall shows the message "Checking access to: ftp://ftp.ie.freebsd.ord/pub/...", but that's as far as I get. After about 5 minutes something times out, and I get the following error from sysinstall: No such directory ftp://ftp.ie.freebsd.ord/pub/... please check the URL and start again. I could download the files I need using the Web browser, or another FTP client and install from the FTP server on my PC, but I don't know which files to download (I'm trying to install KDE and it looks big). Any ideas? Could it be something to do with the Gateway or DNS settings I gave when I installed FreeBSD? We don't run an internal DNS, and I don't know what to put in the gateway field. Regards, Stuart p.s. I don't have the installation CD, and don't have time to wait for it to arrive in the mail (I've ordered it). I installed the OS by downloading the necessary files from the mirror site to my PC and using an FTP server on my PC. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
