It was a problem with my D-link router and NOT with the slug or debian installer. Problem is described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/81057 My quick fix was to go into a shell and hard-code my ISP's DNS server IPs into /etc/resolve.conf before doing the install. All then worked fine, but the DNS is lost on re-boot. I think openDNS will be my longer term solution -- assuming no firmware for the router to fix it. Thanks for all advice.
