I'm having trouble trying to install over FTP on a
Power Computing Power Center 132. I made a boot floppy
and it boots fine and sets up the disk fine, but when
it comes time to install the sets I'm having problems.
I choose ftp and then it asks me to setup the network,
which device to use, mc0, I enter my host ip, gateway,
and netmask and then confirm it but it keeps giving an
error saying it can not ping the gateway. I am pretty
familiar with FreeBSD so I go to the shell and run an
ifconfig -a. Everything looks ok so then I try to ping
my router but there is no response. I have a Linksys
cable router and its address is 192.168.1.1. I set my
host address to 192.168.1.2 which always works fine
with FreeBSD. I've tried different host IPs, even
connecting my cable modem directly and even tried
installing a SMC card which is recognized as tlp0 and
the problem is always the same, it can't ping the
gateway. I just can't figure out what is wrong. Can
anyone help? Thanks.
