download site

[Glenn at home]

I get to the place where I am to pick a site and I have tried entering on 
the defaults, and I have tried entering the numbers, such as 57 for the US, 
and I have tried locals under the U S of 1 through 7 with no success.
I tried option 4 in the network setup, which is configure network later, but 
it would not go past that point, so I did option 3, configure manually.
Here I got the ip address both from typing ipconfig on my XP machine on the 
same router, and I also tried another ip address as given for my router from 
IPchicken.com.
I also used the subnet mask as provided by the "ipconfig" in windows XP.
I am not sure that if the ip, gateway, net mask ect. were wrong, if I could 
proceed to the point where I can choose a site to download from.
I am lost at this point, as I don't know how to proceed.
Thanks for any help.
Glenn

Hi Glenn,

Glad to hear that you are progressing in this installation.

My setup is somewhat similar to yours, in that I have a router connected to 
the cable modem and the machine connected to the router However, I have 
assigned static (private) ip numbers to my local machines. The router 
obtains it's public ip fromthe isp(modem). So, in the Debian setup, I don't 
use DHCP, but rather configure manually, entering the local IP of the 
machine I'm installing on. If the routing is correct the installation then 
proceeds as normal to the point where it presents a list of debian mirrors 
in the country you have selected. Just choose the mirror closest to you and 
carry on.

I know this can be a bit confusing the first time you do it, but after that 
it seems quite natural.

HTH,
