I always get that message when trying to either connect to the ftp host
(to download the 2.1.0 release distro. during the install program) or do a
dns look up. what am i doing wrong? Also what kind of settings should I
have for:

hostname:
and
nameserver:

I have both, but the thing is that the nameserver isnt working and I have
tried all three of them!
As for the hostname, what should I put?

Please help me and send mail to:
