Subject:   Installation with a boot disk

I made the boot disk successfully, booted my system, and got through all the
installation menus.
But I am getting the following problems in the final installation with the boot
disk.
When the program gets to the part of giving the following message
"Logging in to anonymous@ftp.freebsd.org.."

it hangs there a while, and inevitably it will come back with the message

"Couldn't  open FTP connection to ftp.freebsd.org:
Service not available, closing control connection"

This happened with many other different sites available in the menu option.
First of all, is the self-install program doing the right thing by logging in
as "anonymous@ftp.freebsd.org"?
Should I (or can I) change any of the login commands?

Help, I'm stuck with a non-working system, and will appreciate any feedback!

regards
sfque
