I'm still struggling to understand what you're saying here. Is your router's IP address really 192.168.1.45? If so, that is highly unusual. I've never heard of such a case. Most consumer routers will place themselves at *.*.*.1 for whichever network they support, which is typically one of 10.0.0.* or 192.168.1.*. So in other words, I would expect your router's IP address to be 192.168.1.1 on this network. Unless you've got a *very* strange router, or you've manually reconfigured its address. Also, does your router provide DHCP service? All modern consumer routers do, because basically every device in the world which isn't a Unix server will expect to be given its address via DHCP. For purposes of installing your Debian system, you could let it use DHCP to obtain its address. If, later on, you want to tie it down to a specific address, you can configure the router to assign a specific IP address to the Debian system's MAC address. Or, alternatively, you could find an unused block of IP addreses in the DHCP server's address range, and manually assign one of those to the Debian system. But that can wait until installation has finished. Are you using ethernet (a cable) or wireless networking? Is this a laptop, or a desktop computer, or something else? Does it have a model number? Finally, please tell us more details about what problem you're actually seeing. At what step does the problem occur? What do you *see*? Is there a message? What does it say?
