Re: Failed to access the Debian archive
Ivan, Thanks, that did the trick! Took me a while to figure out how to connect to the network (ipup I believe), but I got connected and did actually access the Debian archive. Thanks for all your kind respones, they were most helpfull. Now how do I ensure that next time Debian starts, the 8139too module is loaded as well, so I don't have to do it manually every time?

Alex, thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion, the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf match the ones the router knows.

Failed to access the Debian archive
Hi all, I'm trying to install Debian on my asus s1300 machine, but I haven't been very lucky so far. I'm doing a net install I downloaded two days ago, I downloaded the following ISO: sarge-i386-businesscard.iso So far so good, burned it on an cd and started installing. Installation kicked of nicely, I presume it downloaded some files from the mirror I chose, and then Debian wanted to reboot. I agreed. The problem I stumbled upon a few times now, is when Debian runs for the first time, and "Configure apt " occurs. First the base system configuration claims not to be connected to the internet, which it is, no PPP or anything, just a router with DHCP enabled between my precious Asus and the rest of the world. Then when I choose my mirror to do the downloading from, he right away claims: "Failed to access the Debian archive", and further down the error message: "Temporary failure resolving "I tried several mirrors. Heck, I tried all in my country. Seems odd, since there was some downloading involved in the primary installation, before the rebooting, if I am not mistaking. A clue anyone? Any help would be very much appreciated, regards, Karel Brascamp
