If your machine could be pinged, I suspect that either the gateway or the DNS-servers were not set correctly on the machine you were installing. You can check the gateway with the command 'route' or 'route -n'. You can check the DNS-servers by looking at /etc/resolv.conf (using 'nano' as editor). Compare the results to other systems on your network. It could also be that you need a to use a proxy server. > I tried switching to another console, ifconfig gave me a loopback > device that was up and eth0 (via PCMCIA-Xircom card) that was up and > in the correct subnet with netmask 255.255.255.0 > ping and dig are not available in this shell, so I could not find > out, whether I was able to get anywhere :-( I do not know my way > around the sh shell. Looks good. You can use 'wget' to test connections to webservers; for example wget http://www.debian.org should give you the index page of the Debian website. Using a different image or expert mode will probably not help with this. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
