HI all! After two weeks of bashing my head against the wall, I submit! In a NUTshell, I am attempting to do a Ftp install of an older 386, To be used as a border router. 8 megs ram and 320megs hardrive across 2 drives. ne2000 compat nic. (GVC Technologies) I'm sitting on a fairly well connected T1 and have attempted to use ftp.freebsd.org as the source. Despite having received the message that the site has a dns entry the actual attempt to get the files fail with not being able to connect to the FreeBsd site. OK bunt! (different tack) I have on site and on the same network an account on a BSDI system on which I have mirrored the ftp.freebsd site. Having entered the local url,with subdirectory and proper ftp user ID info. The system logins into the account, changes into the appropiate main directory (2.1.6-RELEASE) then it attempts to change into the subdir and retreive the file ie: FtpGet(ftp,bin/bin.inf) from the 2.1.6-RELEASE parent result is "received <425 Can't build data connection: Operation timed out.>" FTP: No such file bin/bin.inf, moving on. this basicaly repeating for the entire list for extraction. This dispite All of the required files being there. The directory structure is as follows. home/FreeBSD/2.1.6-RELEASE/bin/ /floppies/ and so on. I am stumped!!!!!!!!!! Any Ideas for the trying? Thanks in Advance. ..je
