Hi Again,

Ok this time I have a real question. I currently have my home network 
running through a Windows XP Pro PC which I am using as my 
firewall/gateway, the reason that I am installing Debian onto a new server 
is so that I can swap these services over to the debian box. However while 
I am getting the debian box installed and configured I want to leave the XP 
box as my gateway. My question is, is it possible to do a network 
installation from the debian machine using the Windows XP machine as the 
internet sharing box/gateway?? The reason that I am asking is because I am 
at the stage of the install that I need to get the 'base' packages 
downloaded and if I open up a new consol window I can ping cisco.com, 
www.debian.org etc, however I can't get it to download the packages....when 
I do I get the following error:

nf_http_fetchfile :: http.us.debian.org couldn't be resolved, hostname 
lookup failure (h_errno=2)

Any help??

Adam.
