I have confirmed that there is a Name Server at 202.188.0.133 and that it correctly resolves ftp.freebsd.org. > dig @202.188.0.133 ftp.freebsd.org ; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @202.188.0.133 ftp.freebsd.org ; (1 server found) ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 6 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 3, ADDITIONAL: 3 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; ftp.freebsd.org, type =3D A, class =3D IN ;; ANSWER SECTION: ftp.freebsd.org. 5M IN CNAME ftp.beastie.tdk.net. ftp.beastie.tdk.net. 1m20s IN A 62.243.72.50 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: beastie.tdk.net. 3d13h36m43s IN NS ns10.inet.tele.dk. beastie.tdk.net. 3d13h36m43s IN NS ns11.inet.tele.dk. beastie.tdk.net. 3d13h36m43s IN NS ns2.tele.dk. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns10.inet.tele.dk. 3h12m54s IN A 193.163.158.228 ns11.inet.tele.dk. 3h12m54s IN A 195.41.46.84 ns2.tele.dk. 1h35m59s IN A 194.239.134.82 ;; Total query time: 1155 msec ;; FROM: wall.my.domain to SERVER: 202.188.0.133 ;; WHEN: Sat Mar 29 12:55:48 2003 ;; MSG SIZE sent: 33 rcvd: 213 I am surprised you still get Cannot resolve hostname 'ftp.freebsd.org'. But you would probably see that error if PPP was not 'up'. To confirm whether it is a Name Server problem, you could choose 'other' when asked to select a FreeBSD FTP distribution site and set ftp://62.243.72.50/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ as the address. If it still doesn't work. Have a look on vty3 (press Alt-F3) and confirm that PPP is indeed 'up'. You should see something like PPP ON foo. (All three Ps must be capital letters). I think you are very close to getting this working. Don't give up. Please remove freebsd-hackers from the list of addresses you are = contacting. John.
