Ahhh okay you mean you selected the "edit file" option of the network setup menu. Well I guess you still have network troubles. But on the other hand, a simple solution might be to install without networking. Depends on whether you want to use networking and/or any of the packages which require networking during install. I myself would install without network and then later install Arachne (has a built-in net config wizard) manually when the rest works. One thing which uses networking during install are the USB drivers, but you can just as well download and install them later. This is a good idea anyway, because they hung when I let the installer itself download and activate them (too early?) in setup...
