One thing that may be worth checking is if you are behind a firewall that only allows passive ftp or ftp via a proxy. I do not know if the 2.2.6 install will use by default a passive or active FTP. (maybe others can answer). Also you have bot specified how you are attaching to the net. If you are using ethernet, then you should go to another machine and see if you can ping the new machine after it has tried to do the ftp. it should be pingable. If not then there are many possibilities. 1/ maybe you slected the wrong IRQ or port for the ethernet card? (was it PCI or ISA). 2/ maybe you selected a bad default router or address? if it is ppp then are you sure that the connection is complete? more information of this nature is required. regards.. julian On Tue, 5 May 1998, Singh, Hardeep IN wrote: > Sir, > I am Hardeep Singh from NEPZ,Noida INDIA.
