If you're using the IP address for ftp.netbsd.org instead of the name,
then you don't need to bother setting up DNS anything. You still need
to get the IP of *your* machine and the gateway right, however. Have a
look in the settings of a successfully networked installation on your
machine and copy it. Perhaps you have Windows installed on the same
machine?
