I’m stuck behind a rather restrictive firewall. I would like to upgrade
from 3.0 to 3.1 and not go thru the same procedure as last: Download
with Netscape to a dos partition.

On 3.0 I can ftp a single file using:
ftp_proxy:proxy_server:xxxx
ftp -p ftp://ftp.dk.freebsd/pub/FreeBSD/...

but if I as a test start /stand/sysinstall up, using passive ftp proxy
I get “connection in wrong state”

Now, I would like not to blow my self out of the water, using the boot
floppies, just to discover that I have no net access.

Any suggestions ?

Best regards

Peter Holm
