> Description:
When i try to use X windows, i get an arp error that says 127.0.0.1 is not on the \
local network. I tried to re-install freebsd from the installation cd thinking that \
would solve the problem, and when i did during the installation it said "Couldn't \
extract the following distributions. This may be because they were not available on \
the installation media you've chosen:   Local" i would guess this is the source of \
the problem, so we tried to install that distribution set off of an ftp server which \
gave us the exact same error. (ftp3.freebsd.org) this problem interferes greatly with \
network operations, and prevents us from useing X windows.
> How-To-Repeat:
/stand/sysinstall    configure   distributions   local    then select a media. the cd \
and ftp options produced the error in the full description section.
