Seems unlikely since this server had very good ping response time just before starting the net install. The computer was left in frozen condition for 24 hours before the second, successful, identical attempt. Second attempt, restarting from scratch, went through the end all right, except for a quite long "configuring" sleep (a few minutes) about 94% into the install.
