can you ping a ip address and can not ping a domain name?
Have you considered booting a livecd and then using debootstrap as a way

I've actually managed to track down this problem. Somehow, for some
reason, the DHCP client Debian uses right now was telling my ISP's
DHCP server to return completely fresh information and not the
information my NIC was registered with. That made it refuse to let me
work without logging in, which I couldn't do without a web browser.
I managed to get them to assign me a static IP configuration for a
couple hours so I could at least get it installed and to the point
that I had a web browser. Since Slackware worked, and it uses dhcpcd,
I got rid of the default one and installed dhcpcd. And it immediately
began returning the preassigned IP address and even upon reboot is
working flawlessly.
Do you think I should file a bug report against the installer, or
file one against the client package, or just forget it altogether and
be glad I got it working? I have seen several other people on the
'net with the same symptoms, but the causes may have absolutely
nothing to do with mine.
