  I just installed FreeBSD yesterday for my first time, so I am very
new to it.  Everything went okay (except that my PS/2 mouse doesn't
work.  Any ideas) installing it over the network (ethernet), but now
when I try to telnet or FTP anywhere that is not on my network (U of
Oregon), it gives me a "no route to host" error.  Why would this be?
In other words, I can telnet to "gladstone.uoregon.edu", or I can FTP
to "ftp.uoregon.edu," but I can't FTP to "ftp.freebsd.org."  I don't
understand why this would be since I was able to install off of that
server originally.  Does anyone have any ideas on this?  Thanks a lot
for any information!
