ftp install problem

[zeus at ix.netcom.com]

Hi there,

I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.9 over ftp.  I have a LAN connection over ethernet and I have set the option to configure using DHCP.  When I get to the screen asking for IP, gateway, nameserver, etc. the correct values are filled in, but when I try to continue I get a message that it cannot resolve the hostname.  If I go over to vty4, I can bring up the lan interface, set a default route and then ping the same host by name.  I'm a bit confused here.  Can anyone offer suggestions?  Thanks in advance.
