|- That seems like your networking setup is broken, or you have a firewall
|- which drops packages. If networking was OK, and no server process was
|- listening on port 631, you would get the following error:
|- telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
No Mirko, thanks to Clive I discovered what the net address for this machine
was, I had actually tried that row of numbers without any success, that's why
I thought I might just have it wrong.
Now when I ping I get:-
ariestao:~# ping -c1 ariestao
connect: Invalid argument
So maybe the network is broken, though i don't have a network, and will go for
a clean install. That must be what is required, I think this is what they do
in windows mainly so Debian is probably following suit. It should fix it.
So thank you for your help, and I will just have to maybe leave the default
"Debian" when they ask for the hostname? Maybe that will work then.
Thank you,
Charlie.

As for me, I delight in the everyday Way, Among mist-wrapped vines and rocky
caves. Here in the wilderness I am completely free, With my friends, the white
clouds, idling forever. There are roads, but they do not reach my world; Since
I am mindless, who can rouse my thoughts? On a bed of stone I sit, alone in
the night, While the round moon climbs up Cold Mountain.
