    Hello,
    I am tyring to install from the floppies.
    I get to the point were I choose the ftp server to d/l from.
    then it says can't resolve the ftp.freebsd.org or any of the servers.
    I tried a static ip and a dhcp ip and neither would work but other computers
    on my network will find ftp.freebsd.org (all windows units).

    I am behind a sonicwall and then a linksys router and have no trouble going
    to any site on the net so not sure why I can't get a resolve.
    I tried several different namservers and none made a difference.

    THanks
    Mark
