Ulrik,

Welcome to NetBSD!

I carbon-copied this email to netbsd-help. I believe tech-install is for
developing of the installation tools and interfaces. You may want to
consider this discussion via netbsd-help.

I have some comments below ...

Is it IP forwarding all types of traffic? (Or does your firewall stop
NFS/FTP traffic?)

> server 192.168.0.1, macintosh 192.168.0.3, compaq 192.168.0.4.

It should work with any hostname and domain name, but you may want to use
the same domain name for yor network and use a hostname that resolves (at
least in your own network by using /etc/hosts, for example).

You don't need to run your own DNS. Point it to the IP of your ISP's DNS
server.

Set the IP to 192.168.0.4, the netmask to 0xffffff00, and the gateway
address to 192.168.0.1.

You can escape to the shell and try configuring the interface there, use
ping or try some other tests.

I have never done it via NFS, but I have used FTP to install many times.

Good luck. If you reply or need to ask more questions, consider using the
netbsd-help mailing list instead.
