With my cable modem connection using my ISP, Telstra Bigpond in Australia, even though I'm physically connected to the network and even though I've got an IP address etc, my IP address isn't given access out of the network until I have 'logged in' via their Big Pond Cable Client (using NT) or bids2login (something like that ??) under FreeBSD. I suggest that what happens when you reboot from win95 is that you log out and, relinquish your IP address, hence you can't see freebsd.org. The solution to this might be, from most simple (most recommended) to most complex: 1. Install from a FreeBSD CD, or 2. Download appropriate distribution via Win95 and install from DOS partition, or 3. Install via a dial-up PPP link to some other ISP, or 4. knobble the installation diskette to start a dhcp client and login to your ISP. > > I'm starting to hate cable modem... > As my 2.2.8 FreeBSD box was messed up, I decided to do a backup on my > dos partition and reinstall the beast(3.1-RELEASE).
