I see a picture of four items: computer, laptop, router & Internet. But I have doubts about the connections, especial because the two network cards in a system. I'm gonna try: Inet --- Router --- PC --- Laptop ---(Inet--Router) --- (eth2:PC:eth0) --- (ethX:Laptop) I assume that the laptop is being installed, but I could be wrong. So halting further thinking about it. Back to your question: > Is there a fixed IP list of nameservers available? Or maybe a Debian mirror > IP list? Please don't waste your time on typing in IP-addresses. I'm will to help you find a better way to achive your goal. Send an updated picture of your network (or a confirmation about the above) provide also which IP adres each interface should have. Cheers Geert Stappers P.S.
