Message-ID: <1992Nov10.202836.29559@worldbank.org> Organization: The World Bank, Washington, DC, USA Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 20:28:36 GMT Lines: 31 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. --Sidney Thomas (sthomas@nimbus@worldbank.org)
