Message-ID: <20020303175948.O18372-100000@mail.radzinschi.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello: I needed to set up a firewall, and since the intended machine did not have a CD-ROM drive, I figured I would do an install of 4.5-R over FTP. Unfortunately, I could not get the 4.5 install to work via FTP. I tried to get this to work on two different machines, with both 3Com 3C905 network cards and cheap D-Link 530TX cards. The install gets an IP address from the DHCP server, but for some reason it does not connect to any FTP site I try. I eventually gave up, downloaded the OpenBSD 3.0 boot floppy, and 10 minutes later I had a full OpenBSD install on the machine. It is now happily serving as a firewall, NAT Gateway, and DNS cache server. Perhaps I should have tried a little harder to get the FreeBSD install to work, but it seems to me that something broke between 4.4 and 4.5. Has anyone else had a similar problem, or actually managed to get 4.5 installed via FTP?
