Hello to you all,

I have encountered serious problems trying to install 2.1.5-RELEASE
via FTP (PPP). First of all,  when I choose COM2 the PPP program
always defaults to COM1. OK, when I change it to /dev/cuaa1 and give
the term command logging into my Unix account goes as usual. Then I
start SLiRP and the 'ppp' prompt appears then changes to 'PPP'.

The second problem is that the sysinstall can't resolve the name of
the ftp server I picked. I have tried different servers and numerous
SLiRP options including its internal addresses, disabling/enabling
pap,chap,pred1 and dns etc. 

At this point I decided to be clever and picked 'other server' from
the list. Well, the address I gave to sysinstall evaporated and it
tried to log in 4.33.3 which is the end of the ip address I gave to
be the gateway! 

I have searched FAQ and handbook but can't figure this out.
Could someone please help me. I really need FreeBSD up and running
again.

TpK
