installation via ftp
I have posted in the networking forum about this issue but unfortunately no one has any ideas. So i thought i would ask here maybe someone will be able to shed some light?
I am trying to install mandrake 7.0 via ftp.
I have a windows 2000 server pc running as the domain controller on the domain nebulus.hak.
There is no dhcp server running.
Bulletproof ftp is also running on the this pc, with f:\ as a share for the user account admin. (f:\ contains the directory structure: f:\lin\mandrake\base\stage2.img)
I boot up my soon to be linux box with the mandrake 7.0 boot disk.
I select my ethernet card (intel etherxpress) and then select auto probe.
I then assign the pc an ip address 192.168.0.3
and then am asked to wait "while determining the domain and host name"
I enter in the domain name nebulus.hak
and then the host name mybox
nothing for then additional nameservers
hit next and fill in the ftp server details
server address 192.168.0.1
directory lin
select not anonymous ftp
enter in the username admin and the password
then am told to wait as the second stage loads
meanwhile on the win2k server bulletproof has logged that:
user admin has logged in on ip 192.168.0.3
asked to download the file f:\lin\mandrake\base\stage2.img
access has been granted
and then the error message 426 cannot retrieve appears.
on the linux box the appropriate error has appeared.
I log into the ftp from another windows pc through my web browser and no problem i can download the file, same story with an ftp client, however when i telnet to the ftp and issue the command RETR /LIN/MANDRAKE/BASE/STAGE2.IMG
i get the same error "CANNOT RETRIEVE"
sorry about the huge explanation, but i didnt want to miss anything, its all so dependent.
cheers
