It worked fine. Then I started to try to install various applications such as apache web server w3c wed server, and many others. I had failures on all of them. Finally I brought out a sniffer to look at the packets that FreeBSD was asking for, and each time it was asking for a file that was not as it had spelled. Example ftp did a RETR packages/All/apache-1.2b7.tgz the real file is apache-1.tgz also ftp did a RETR packages/All/w3c-httpd-30A.tgz the real file is w3c-http.tgz This seems to be the case with all the non-base OS apps I try to install. Any help? My head is getting real sore, and this brick wall is not moving. Thanks Dave
