Since my last email I have changed of ISP to have a wider bandwidth. My two Debian boxes (1 Etch and 1 Lenny) both manage to connect without any problem to the brand new DHCP router modem (which is no more a SpeedTouch 530). But the installation still fails. I'm attaching to this email the new debian-installer log obtained with the new ISP and new DHCP router modem. This was obtained with 20090126 daily netboot image. So I would tend to conclude that this is not a local network problem, but rather a hardware one. I have one other experiment I'll try tomorrow: installing another machine on the same local network. I'll keep you posted. >> There are two ways you could investigate this further: >> - try to do the network setup manually from one of the debug shells (on >> VT2 or VT3) I didn't manage to do that.
