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.

Try setting FTP into passive mode in the installer's options screen, or turning off passive mode if that's the default on your version. Windows 98 NATs are not famous for handling FTP properly. -- Willie Viljoen Freelance IT Consultant 214 Paul Kruger Avenue, Universitas Bloemfontein 9321 South Africa +27 51 522 15 60 +27 51 522 44 36 (after hours) +27 82 404 03 27 (mobile) will@unfoldings.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
