I already have a running freebsd box that I loaded from floppies so I am not a complete newbie. everything seems to work okay until it tries to log in to the ftp server on any of the usa sites(that is all i have tried so far). I get the error "Couldn't open ftp connection to . Unknown Error!" I can ping that box from another one so the nic is okay, I do an ifconfig -a and everything looks good, default route was added, netmask is okay.....?????? I am confused. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. please send to e-mail addr as I am not currently subscribed to list. thanks Robert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
