download site

[Terry D. Cudney]

Glenn,

	It seems that you should do some reading/learning re networking/routing. The HOWTO's on these topics are very good.

	In your particular situation at hand, your router obtains an ip via dhcp from the isp... That is transparent (i.e. no need to enter anything in this regard for your debian installation). What you need to enter manually (option 3) is the ip of the interface connected to the router of the machine that debian is to be installed on. Does your router provide a dhcp server for this? or is the ip a local static ip? You'll need this information as well as the gateway address (like Keith said) to get this set up properly.

	If you don'tunderstand what we are saying here, best to read the HOWTO's on:
