Date: 9 Aug 1996 13:19:45 GMT Organization: Ames, IA Lines: 19 Message-ID: <4ufdth$9o2@news.iastate.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: clio.newmonics.com Machine sits behind a masquerading firewall on the fake network 192.168.2.0. It can access the internet when running windows, and its friends (hp9000/340, sun, apollo, etc) also have no problems. This doesnt involve Socks--networking to the outside is transparent (not that that matters as the installation doesnt seem to do more than arp a few times and give up) It has a wd8013 ethernet card, which was detected. Everything works fine until we actually try to ftp the distribution. On the machine I am trying to install on, it seems to just hang trying to resolv the name of the ftp site. Looking in the other virtual console, we see a message like 'ed0: device timeout' or somesuch repeated several times. tcpdump from another machine on the local wire shows only repeated arps for the gateway machine, and its forthright reply. No DNS stuff ever happens, and I assume that it never hears the arp-reply. Can anyone offer any advice? If I cannot install over the network, then I might as well stick with linux or netbsd which I have locally... but I did so want to try something new. Paul set@clio.newmonics.com
