FW: [Malvern] Install problem.

Me thinks it may be a config problem on the router not necessarily your PC.
Sounds similar to the problems you had last time.

Can't remember if you use DCHP or fixed IP addressing.  Can you have a look
into the router and let us have those details together with the IP address
assigned to the new PC.

As a matter of interest, if all the other machines are turned off on the
network can you then get internet access?

Subject: [Malvern] Install problem.


I have always enjoyed happy results installing both Debian and Ubuntu,
but This is one I haven't met before.
I have installed lots of Woody, Sarge, and Etch systems in the past.

I have recently acquired a "used" desktop system -  1.4 GHx  Athlon,  30
GB Maxtor hard drive.

I had no problem downloading and installing the whole thing from the
Debian Mirror.  ( By using netinst).
The local ethernet works fine - I can ping the other machines  (both
directions),  and access the Netgear Router.

However it will not let me use apt-get .   It fails to get into the
mirror.  Nor can I get into the  www.
The picture is the same for Ubuntu - it baffles me that they should face
a common problem on one machine.
I have had no problems on any of my other machines.

What am I missing that was not covered in the set up process ?
Could it be a crypto problem ?

I am not aware of any hardware problems.
I can't use dmesg because it scrolls off the screen,  and I can't load
"less"  !

Any ideas please ?

Cheers,

Geoff.
