Hey everyone, I'm trying to do a Debian install on a new system. Since I don't have any sort of broadband at home I took the machine with me this weekend to use my father-in-law's cable modem connection. Unfortunately, I failed because I couldn't get an IP address using DHCP in the network configuration section of the installer. Thinking that it was potentially a problem with the cable provider not supporting Linux (DHCP worked with Windows fine on the same machine), I brought it in to school today to give it another try with my Linux network. Unfortunately, I have the same trouble. The Debian installer reports that it failed to configure the network and asks if I'd like to do it manually. I went through and typed in the settings by hand but found that the installer didn't activate the network when I was finished. It says that it will be activated when I reboot which is fine if I don't need the network for the rest of the install. Which I do! Any answers here? I'm using the latest boot floppies. I've done this before, and I'm not sure why it's not working now. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.
