This is getting a bit frustrating because I usually use a Dvorak keyboard
layout, and the vi editor is very unintuitive. I'll need a lot of specific
instructions to save me typing.
Part 1
From: Michael Fratoni <address@hidden>
Try booting the installer bootdisk, and bring up the network. Use
route to add the default gateway,
Done.
and enter:
ping 216.148.218.197
Let's see if we can ping a host that I know should respond.
Done, but it doesn't get a response. The error I get for anything except
itself is, "No response from <whatever IP address>". I had to setup the
loopback adapter for it to ping itself. Is this normal for everybody?
Also, the Rule computer couldn't even ping the computer sitting right next
to it. I using this computer, connected to the Internet, as I type.
This computer can ping this computer and Rule computer.
Rule computer can ping Rule computer and nothing else.
The installer is probably working, but your network connection isn't. The
installer can't install files it can't access. :)
If you are unable to ping an external address, then an install from an
external http or ftp server isn't going to work.

Yes, I am aware of that. Thank you. :-) Be careful with what you say about
the installer, though. Even though I can't ping out, I still see the
installer say,
No response from <whatever IP address>
Success!
I'm sure that we both know what it's talking about, but it does appear to be
confusing to a newbie.
...more to come...
Sincerely, and with thanks,
Eugene T.S. Wong
