My system is a 486dx IBM clone desktop. I installed freebsd 2.2.7 from a dos directory, using the .bin files for the kernel and the manual. The installation disk would not ftp transfer the files from your website even after the internet connection was made manually, with the "term" function. It returned the error message: "Cannot resolve hostname 'ftp.freebsd.org'." The hostname was not ftp.freebsd.org, it was gdurka.monmouth.com. The domain name was monmouth.com. After installation, the ppp program seems to connect to the internet OK, but the ftp command will not login to any website. The following is a sample: gdurka# ppp Working in interactive mode Using interface: tun0 ppp ON gdurka> dial n Warning: Add route failed: 0.0.0.0 errno: Network is unreachable Dial attempt 1 of 1 Phone: 842-1079 dial ok! login ok! ppp ON gdurka> packet mode (This is returned by the program. Please note that ppp is in lower case, not upper case.) ppp ON gdurka> shell gdurka> ftp ftp> open ftp.roxen.com ftp: ftp.roxen.com: unknown host or ftp> open 194.52.182.8 ftp: connect: no route to host The host.conf file lists: bind, hosts. In that order. I tried it with hosts, bind, that didn't work. In the hosts file I tried: 10.0.0.1 gdurka.monmouth.com gdurka and ISP's DNS number gdurka.monmouth.com gdurka Neither worked. I want to get rid of msdos and windows, but I can't until this program is running satisfactorily. In order to run an internet browser, and xwindows, the programs have to be downloaded from the net. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
