- Hi there!
-
- Got TinyBSD to install onto the hard disk. Now I want to
- ftp a distribution site to download the rest of the distribution.
- My 3COM 3C503 card is recognized at bootup on IRQ 9 at the right
- address (D8000) etc., as device ec0. I issue the command to
- configure the ethernet card to my IP address:
-
- # ifconfig ec0 138.220.64.1
-
- which seems to be well executed, as I get back the message
-
- ecinit#
-
- Then I issue the command to identify the gateway:
-
- ecinit# route add default 138.220.64.240
-
- Then I try to connect to agate.berkeley.edu, thus:
-
- # ftp 128.32.136.1
-
- and nothing happens. I also cannot connect to other nodes on
- my domain. I suspect there is a simple solution, but INSTALL.NOTES
- offers no clue -- I have followed the instructions given there.
- It also does not appear to be a FAQ -- I have read 386bsd.FAQ.
- Still, others must have encountered and solved this problem.
- Any help would be appreciated.
